In this review, we will focus on the recent progress in the synthetic strategies, photo-
electronic properties, molecular packing modes and applications of azaacenes (n≥ 6) with …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

In materials chemistry of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) the kind of aggregation and
the spatial arrangement of the π‐planes are of utmost importance, eg for charge transport …

It is especially necessary to explore the influence of side groups linked to the pyrene core on
the photophysical properties for constructing efficient pyrene-based blue-emitting materials …

The crystalline packing of a π‐extended D3h‐symmetric triptycene reveals a particular π
stacking motif with an almost‐eclipsed arrangement of adjacent π planes despite the steric …

Although diradicals and azaacenes have been greatly attractive in fundamental chemistry
and functional materials, the isolable diradical dianions of azaacenes are still unknown …

We disclose an unprecedented single-step metal-free green oxidation of 2, 7-di-tert-
butylpyrene selectively into either the corresponding 4, 5-dione or 4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone, two …

The described mechanochemical methodology is an example of a proof‐of‐concept in
which solution‐based tedious, poor yielding, and difficult syntheses of pyrazaacenes are …

Single-crystal growth of organic materials is crucial to study the charge transport mechanism
and performance limits as transistors due to a few defects, no grain boundary, and the …

Five di‐and tetracyano‐substituted pyrene‐fused pyrazaacenes were synthesized and
studied as potential electron acceptors in the solid state. Single crystals of all compounds …
