Recent Progress of Open-shell Organic Magnetic Materials and Their Aggregated States

In last decades, open-shell organic materials have attracted scientists’ great attention for their new chemical and physical properties, as well as their possible applications in new generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic spintronics and photonics, and so on. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of design and synthesis of open-shell organic magnetic materials. Especially, we will focus on their aggregated states in OFETs, organic conductors and luminescent devices and photoinduced radical materials, with the aim to provide some clue for the further development of novel open-shell organic magnetic materials.
