This review surveys recent progress in the chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules
with a focus on structural diversity and synthetic methodology. The article covers literature …

The past decade has witnessed remarkable success in the synthesis of curved polycyclic
aromatics through Scholl reactions which enable oxidative aryl–aryl coupling even in …

A novel series of copolymers made from alternating aromatic surrogates with contorted and
spiro compounds, denoted as BCP1–3, was successfully synthesized employing a …

Rubicene, a key nanofragment of C70, is attracting great attention owing to its unique
molecular structure and physicochemical properties. As an indeno-annelated polycyclic …

Ruthenium‐catalyzed butadiene‐mediated benzannulation enabled the first synthesis of 3,
10‐(di‐tert‐butyl) rubicene and its N‐doped derivatives as well as preliminary studies on …

We demonstrate the preparation of anthanthrene derivatives with fused five-membered
rings. These new derivatives are prepared by a palladium catalyzed cyclopentannulation …

The size, shape, edge structure of nanographenes can significantly affect their physical
properties. Meanwhile, the introduction of pentagon, heptagon, octagon into the parent …

Abstract Cyclopenta [hi] aceanthrylenes (CPAs) have been functionalized at two of the
peripheral positions with electronically inert trimethylsilylethynyl (1), as well as with electron …

A series of donor‐acceptor copolymers with dicyclopenta [cd, jk] pyrene and dicyclopenta
[cd, lm] perylene acceptor units was prepared via palladium catalyzed cyclopenta …

New conjugated polymers that incorporate dihexylanthradithiophene (DHADT) in the main
chain were prepared by Stille, Sonogashira, and Yamamoto cross-coupling polymerization …
