TSUKUBA, Japan, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has found that substances known as pyrazinacenes exhibit on-surface oxidation-state-dependent conformational and self-assembly behaviors.

Key Points: 
  • TSUKUBA, Japan, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has found that substances known as pyrazinacenes exhibit on-surface oxidation-state-dependent conformational and self-assembly behaviors.
  • The team's broad experimental and theoretical study revealed that pyrazinacenes containing decaazapentacene are stable against oxidation but unstable against reduction.
  • Pyrazinacenes represent an unusual class of redox-active chromophores, and represent an emerging class of highly nitrogenous heteroacenes with unique properties.
