Abstract
The discovery of singlet–triplet (ST) inversion in some π-conjugated triangle-shaped boron carbon nitrides is a remarkable breakthrough that defies Hund’s first rule. Deeply rooted in strong electron–electron interactions, ST inversion has garnered significant interest due to its potential to revolutionize triplet harvesting in organic LEDs. Using the well-established Pariser–Parr–Pople model for correlated electrons in π-conjugated systems, we employ a combination of CISDT and restricted active space configuration interaction calculations to investigate the photophysics of several triangular boron carbon nitrides. Our findings reveal that ST inversion in these systems is primarily driven by a network of alternating electron-donor and electron-acceptor groups in the molecular rim, rather than by the triangular molecular structure itself.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
