<Abstract:> π-conjugated carbon molecules such as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have attracted great interest because of their potential applications as electronic materials and catalysts. Among these molecular frameworks, fullerene substructures of sumanene molecules with C3v symmetry are expected to form vertical columnar crystal structures and exhibit a range of conduction properties. Various syntheses of molecules with extended π-conjugation at the benzyl position of sumanene have now been reported. However, there are no examples of open-shell systems with extended sumanene features. In this study, we use the results of DFT calculations to discuss the relationship between molecular conformational symmetry and spin multiplicity in a new, extended open-shell system of sumanenes by adding a phenyl group at the benzyl position.

<Abstract:> In recent years, the remarkable advances in artificial intelligence technology have led to digital transformation (DX) in various fields. The automated construction of laboratory notebook through filming experiments is a promising application of image recognition for chemistry. In this study, we created an image dataset of chemical experiment, which contains 2376 images and consists of 7 classes of objects. Object detection methods and a multiple object tracking method were implemented and assessed using the dataset toward to develop automated laboratory notebook system.
