abstract = {In this work, two different classes of polyaromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) systems have been investigated in order to
characterize the amount of polyradical character and to
localize the specific regions of chemical reactivity: (a)
the non-Kekulé triangular structures phenalenyl,
triangulene and a π-extended triangulene system with
high-spin ground state and (b) PAHs based on zethrenes,
p-quinodimethane-linked bisphenalenyl, and the Clar goblet
containing varying polyradical character in their singlet
ground state. The first class of structures already have
open-shell character because of their high-spin ground
state, which follows from the bonding pattern, whereas for
the second class the open-shell character is generated
either because of the competition between the closed-shell
quinoid Kekulé and the open-shell singlet biradical
resonance structures or the topology of the π-electron
arrangement of the non-Kekulé form. High-level ab initio
calculations based on multireference theory have been
carried out to compute singlet–triplet splitting for the
above-listed compounds and to provide insight into their
chemical reactivity based on the polyradical character by
means of unpaired densities. Unrestricted density functional
theory and Hartree–Fock calculations have been performed
for comparison also in order to obtain better insight into
their applicability to these types of complicated radical
systems.},
