Beyond spin models in orbitally-degenerate open-shell nanographenes

J. C. G. Henriques, D. Jacob, A. Molina-Sánchez +3

The study of open-shell nanographenes has relied on a paradigm where spins are the only low-energy degrees of freedom. Here we show that some nanographenes can host low-energy exci…
