Explanation of Aromaticity and Molecular Structure

Changes through Spectroscopy

 

-Featured on Cover of Angewandte Chemie International Edition

 

 

Yonsei Chemistry Professor Dongho Kim and his team released their research on the changes in molecular structure according to the aromaticity of hexaphyrin molecules. Their research article, “A Description of Vibrational Modes in Hexaphyrins: Understanding the Aromaticity Reversal in the Lowest Triplet State,” was featured on the cover of Angewandte Chemie International Edition in August.

 

The article marks a continuation of the team’s previous research on aromaticity reversal, the results of which were published in the April issue of Nature Chemistry. Their work suggests the possibility of a variety of technological applications in the fields of solar energy conversion, optical dynamics treatment, and photo-induced synthesis.
