Photogenerated spin-correlated radical pairs (SCRPs) are electron spin pairs formed in well-defined spin states. Spin chemistry of SCRPs plays important roles in biology, as famously implicated in the leading hypothesis for avian magnetoreception. At the same time, synthetic molecules supporting SCRPs provide a versatile platform for quantum information applications with synthetic chemical tunability. Recently, significant interest in SCRPs in chiral (non-superimposable mirror image) systems has grown as systems to study mechanisms of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which describes spin-dependent interactions with chiral molecules like proteins at room temperature. However, the role…
