Donor-Acceptor Pentacene Analogues With Near-Infrared Emission and Tunable Aromaticity.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Strategic substitution of the 5 and 12 positions in pentacene with an electron-donating nitrogen and electron-accepting phosphine oxide, sulfone and carbonyl groups results in highly polarized para-quinodimethane (pQDM) derivatives with large dipole moments exceeding 10 D. These push-pull systems feature narrow HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.0-1.7 eV), reversible redox properties and near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission with maxima between 800 and 1100 nm. Remarkably, the polarization induces aromaticity switching: unlike their non-aromatic double-donor and double-acceptor counterparts, the donor-acceptor analogues develop weak aromatic character in the central quinoidal ring, which is further enhanced in polar solvents, as confirmed by theoretical calculations, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. These findings demonstrate how molecular polarization can modulate aromaticity and electronic structure, providing a design platform for functional quinoidal π-systems with tunable optical and redox properties.
