	abstract = {<p>Open-shell phenalenyl chemistry started more than half a century back, and the first solid-state phenalenyl radical was realized only 15 years ago highlighting the synthetic challenges associated in stabilizing carbon-based radical chemistry, though it has great promise as building blocks for molecular electronics and multifunctional materials. Alternatively; stable closed-shell phenalenyl has tremendous potential as it can be utilized, to create an in situ open-shell state by external spin injection. In the present study, we have designed a closed-shell phenalenyl-based iron(III) complex, Fe-III(PLY)(3) (PLY-H = 9-hydroxyphenalenone) displaying an excellent electrocatalytic property as cathode material for one compartment membraneless H2O2 fuel cell. The power density output Of Fe-III(PLY)(3) is nearly 15-fold higher than the structurally related model compound Fe-III(acac)(3) (acac = acetylacetonate) and nearly 140-fold higher than an earlier reported mononuclear Fe(III) complex; Fe-III(Pc)Cl (Pc = pthalocyaninate), highlighting the role of switchable closed-shell phenalenyl moiety for electron-transfer process in designing electroactive materials.</p>},
