The field of radical cation chemistry has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of oxidative DNA damage, a process intimately linked to carcinogenesis, ageing, and a broad range of ...

Ionic liquids are tunable solvents composed entirely of ions that have properties desirable as electrolytes for lithium batteries such as nonflammability and a large electrochemical stability window.

DFT calculations showed that the deprotonation of the radical cation at the carbon C3 position resulted in the lowest energy neutral radical, while proton loss at the C5, C9, or C13 methyl groups was ...
