From Perylene to a 22-Ring Aromatic Hydrocarbon in One-Pot

The successful synthesis of a threefold symmetric C78H36 molecule with 22 fused benzene rings is reported. This clover‐shaped nanographene was characterized on an ultrathin insulating film with atomic resolution by scanning probe microscopy. A threefold symmetric nanographene was synthesized by foll...

Description
Summary:The successful synthesis of a threefold symmetric C78H36 molecule with 22 fused benzene rings is reported. This clover‐shaped nanographene was characterized on an ultrathin insulating film with atomic resolution by scanning probe microscopy. A threefold symmetric nanographene was synthesized by following a simple procedure based on two sequential aryne cycloadditions in solution starting from perylene. The clover‐shaped graphene molecule was characterized with atomic resolution by scanning probe microscopy.
