Abstract
Closed-shell phenalenyl (PLY) systems are increasingly becoming more attractive as building blocks for developing promising catalysts and electroactive cathode materials, as they have tremendous potential to accept electrons and participate in redox reactions. Herein, we report a PLY-based dinuclear [FeIII2(hmbh-PLY)3] complex, 1, and its utility as a cathode material in a H2O2 fuel cell. Complex 1 was synthesized from a new Schiff base ligand, (E)-9-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazineyl)-1H-phenalen-1-one, hmbh-PLYH2, designed using a PLY precursor, Hz-PLY. The newly derived ligand and complex 1 were characterized by various analytical techniques, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) study revealed that complex 1 undergoes five electron reductions under an applied electric potential. When the electroactive complex 1 was employed as a cathode in a membrane-less one-compartment H2O2 fuel cell, with Ni foam as the corresponding anode, the designed fuel cell exhibited an exceptionally high peak power density (PPD) of 2.41 mW cm-2, in comparison with those of all the previously reported Fe-based molecular complexes. DFT studies were performed to gain reasonable insights into the two-electron catalytic reduction (pathway I) of H2O2 by the Fe-center of complex 1 and to explore the geometries, energetics of the electrocatalyst, reactive intermediates and transition states.

Abstract
Phenalenyl, a zigzag-edged odd alternant hydrocarbon unit can be found in the graphene nanosheet. Hückel molecular orbital calculations indicate the presence of a nonbonding molecular orbital (NBMO), which originates from the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) arising from 13 carbon atoms of the phenalenyl molecule. Three redox states (cationic, neutral radical, and anionic) of the phenalenyl-based molecules were attributed to the presence of this NBMO. The cationic state can undergo two consecutive reductions to result in neutral radical and anionic states, stepwise, respectively. The phenalenyl-based radicals were found as crucial building blocks and attracted the attention of various research fields such as organic synthesis, material science, computation, and device physics. From 2012 onward, a strategy was devised using the cationic state of phenalenyl-based molecules and in situ generated phenalenyl radicals, which created a new domain of catalysis. The in situ generated phenalenyl radicals were utilized for the single electron transfer (SET) process resulting in redox catalysis. This emerging range of applications rejuvenates the more than six decades-old phenalenyl chemistry. This review captures such developments ranging from fundamental understanding to multidirectional applications of phenalenyl-based radicals.

Abstract
Phenalenone is a synthetically accessible, highly efficient photosensitizer with a near-unity singlet oxygen quantum yield. Unfortunately, its UV absorption and lack of fluorescence has made it unsuitable for fluorescence-guided photodynamic therapy against cancer. In this work, we synthesized a series of phenalenone derivatives containing electron-donating groups to red-shift the absorption spectrum and bromine(s) to permit good singlet oxygen production via the heavy-atom effect. Of the derivatives synthesized, the phenalenone containing an amine at the 6-position with bromines at the 2- and 5-positions (OE19) exhibited the longest absorption wavelength (i.e., green) and produced both singlet oxygen and red fluorescence efficiently. OE19 induced photocytotoxicity with nanomolar potency in 2D cultured PANC-1 cancer cells as well as light-induced destruction of PANC-1 spheroids with minimal dark toxicity. Overall, OE19 opens up the possibility of employing phenalenone-based photosensitizers as theranostic agents for photodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
A new redox-active hydrazone ligand bearing a phenalenol group is described (phpl), which produces neutral six-coordinate Fe and Co complexes (1 & 2) with the ligands identified in different oxidation states; an open-shell anion radical and closed-shell dianion. An intense and very low-energy intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) band is identified in solid-state and in solution in the complexes. Single crystals of 1 are semiconducting (at 300 K, σ = 3.05 × 10-4 S cm-1 with Ea = 245 meV).

Abstract
The synthesis and pH-sensing property of a novel phenalenone-based compound, 9-(4-hydroxyphenylamino)-1-oxo-phenalenone (HPAP), is reported. The newly synthesized compound is capable of functioning as a pH sensor in the region of pH 7 to 12. The sensor can be used as a colorimetric indicator in the transition from pH 10 to pH 11. The sensor is able to function in four detectable channels. All four channels (UV, emission, colorimetric/visible and photoluminescence) have been shown to be reversible, thus implying the reuse of this single-molecule sensor and indicator for several experiments. Mechanistic investigations have been performed by UV, NMR and DFT studies which indicate that a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) based mechanism could be operative. Straightforward and cost-effective application of the sensor in thin-layer chromatography has also been established.

Abstract
In recent years, merging different types of catalysis in a single pot has drawn considerable attention and these catalytic processes have mainly relied upon metals. However, development of a completely metal free approach integrating organic redox and organic Lewis acidic property into a single system has been missing in the current literature. This study establishes that a redox active phenalenyl cation can activate one of the substrates by single electron transfer process while the same can activate the other substrate by a donor-acceptor type interaction using its Lewis acidity. This approach has successfully achieved light and metal-free catalytic C-H functionalization of unactivated arenes at ambient temperature (39 entries, including core moiety of a top-selling molecule boscalid), an economically attractive alternative to the rare metal-based multicatalysts process. A tandem approach involving trapping of reaction intermediates, spectroscopy along with density functional theory calculations unravels the dual role of phenalenyl cation.

Abstract
2-Hydroxy-8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-phenalen-1-one (1), the first reported 8-phenylphenalenone from the roots of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), was synthesized starting from 2-methoxynaphthalene in 11 steps and with an overall yield of 2%. A cascade Friedel-Crafts/Michael annulation reaction between acryloyl chloride and 2-methoxynaphthalene afforded 9-methoxyperinaphthanone that, after transformation to 9-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-phenalen-1-one by means of standard Suzuki-Miyaura methodology, was subjected to a reductive carbonyl transposition to afford 8-(4-methoxyphenyl)perinaphthanone. Dehydrogenation, epoxidation, and demethylation of the latter afforded 1.

Abstract
We report the preparation, crystallization, and solid-state characterization of the first members of a new family of spiro-bis-(1,9-diamino-substituted-phenalenyl)boron neutral radicals. The crystal structures show that the three radicals are monomeric and without close contacts in the crystal lattice. In all cases magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm the presence of free radicals with one unpaired spin per molecule. Two of the new radical compounds are among the most highly conducting neutral organic solids, with room-temperature conductivities reaching sigma(RT) = 4 x 10(-2) S/cm. The measured conductivities correlate with the closest intermolecular contacts in the solid state and with the calculated band dispersions, even though the bandwidths are much smaller than those found in other organic conductors.
