Supramolecular CHπ interactions cause a ruffling of the otherwise coplanar ribbon-like arrays of radicals in the structure of the oxobenzene-bridged bisdithiazolyl . The material displays a conductivity σ(300 K) = 6 × 10(-3) S cm(-1) (Eact = 0.16 eV) and orders antiferromagnetically below 4 K. At applied fields above 1 kOe the material displays metamagnetic behavior.

Chiral recognition has been studied in neutral or ionic weakly bound complexes isolated in the gas phase by combining laser spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Neutral complexes of the two enantiomers of lactic ester derivatives with chiral chromophores have been formed in a supersonic expansion. Their structure has been elucidated by means of IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy in ...
