A Bending Molecule that Switches Its Nature upon Oxidation

Caption

The cover features a novel aza-nanographene molecule with extensive conjugation, highlighting two “gulf-edge” sites located at specific positions. Upon two-electron oxidation, a diradical species is formed, with the distribution of unpaired electrons visually represented. The design also subtly incorporates the silhouette of Shikoku, symbolizing both the molecular architecture and the geographical origin of this research.
