In STM with a CO tip, molecular orbital densities look totally different at different tip heigths. Here is why and how to account for it. Teaser: It's NOT due to different decay constants of s- and p- wavefunctions, as one might have guessed (!)

Time-resolved excited-state spectroscopy of molecules using back-and-forth tunneling of single electrons with different energies, spin-to-charge conversion, and AFM for charge detection. Out now: (Not an easy read - but very rewarding if you take the time)

At least as nice as an egg-shaped molecule in Science: these two small guys made it safe out of their eggs today 🎉
Cyclocarbon C18 (doubly aromatic) is a freak, C16 (doubly anti-aromatic) a superfreak, C13 is the freakiest of them all: triplet ground state, more or less delocalized carbene center, and neither Baird's nor Hueckel's rule can be applied.

Dear Michael, thanks! Glad we could contribute. Sure you were right - in vacuum. On NaCl it seems to close to call. Triplet and closed-shell para seem very close in energy, on their respective adsorption sites. Both stable in our experiment. And too hard for theory to answer.
@Leo_Gross_IBM The "team led by scientists at the University of Oregon" appreciate the shout-out. I am glad you all determined the triplet ground state as another preeminent diradical chemist later said he did not believe our computational claim in the 2017 ACIE paper. You proved him wrong!
