Electronic structure origins of radical character in triangular fused acenes: sextet stabilization <i>vs.</i> antiaromaticity release
Triangular acenes display size-dependent radical character arising from the interplay between Clar's sextet stabilization and the release of cyclobutadiene antiaromaticity.
