Acenes, consisting of linearly fused benzene rings, are an important fundamental class of
organic compounds with various applications. Hexacene is the largest acene that was …

The larger acenes and heteroacenes (> pentacenes) are attractive, yet sensitive materials;
several strategies were developed to stabilize such species.“Classic” approaches employ …

The consequence of unpaired electrons in organic molecules has fascinated and
confounded chemists for over a century. The study of open-shell molecules has been …

This combined experimental and theoretical study examines the influence of acene
elongation, boron atom position, and acene substitution pattern on the structure and …

A unified approach to the synthesis of the series of higher acenes up to previously
unreported undecacene has been developed through the on‐surface dehydrogenation of …

Acenes represent a unique class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that have fascinated
chemists and physicists due to their exceptional potential for use in organic electronics …

The on-surface synthesis of nonacene has been accomplished by dehydrogenation of an air-
stable partially saturated precursor, which could be aromatized by using a combined …

Since the discovery of graphene in the early 2000′ s, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) have been resurrected and new synthetic tools have been developed to prepare …

Undecacene, the largest member of the acene family, was photogenerated in a polymer
matrix under cryogenic conditions from a precursor with two α‐diketone bridges. The …

Polyacenes are organic compounds that have multiple, fused, aromatic rings. These highly
conjugated molecules often have interesting photonic and/or electronic properties that afford …
