since you sound like you know what you're talking about, could I please ask a dumb question as a layman in the area. what is it that's special about this compound that would make it useful in all those seemingly disparate areas? what's the connection? to my untrained mind, it's as if somebody picked up a random rock and made those same claims.
- greenavocado 2y agoEnhanced electron delocalization and mobility. Metals often have partially filled d-orbitals that can interact with the π-orbitals of the aromatic system. Aromatic systems already possess delocalized electrons in their π-orbitals. This delocalization allows for easier electron movement within the molecule. This helps with electron transfer in reactions when using catalysts and it is also useful for applications which benefit from improved conductivity. https://fastercapital.com/content/Electron-Mobility--Unleashing-the-Speed-of-Semiconductors.html https://fastercapital.com/content/Electron-Mobility--Unleash...
- exe34 2y agothank you! I vaguely remember some of those words from a-level chemistry. i do have some textbooks I've been meaning to go through.
