title = "Omniconjugation",
abstract = "Omniconjugation is introduced as a new architectural concept for the design of complex molecular structures that allows for the interconnection of many functional entities in a fully conjugated manner. So far, such π-conjugated topologies have never been explicitly recognized or investigated from this point of view. A topological design method has been developed by which a large number of realistic omniconjugated structures can be constructed. This new class of π-conjugated systems can be divided in two sub-classes that differ in their {\textquoteleft}switching{\textquoteright} behavior upon passage of solitons. Furthermore, we found that the principle of omniconjugation may give rise to a pronounced and, sometimes, unique π-electron delocalization of the frontier orbitals. These preliminary results indicate that omniconjugation could be applicable in several ways (as passive or active elements) in future nanoelectronic devices.",
