The synthesis and structural characterization of hitherto unknown tetradehydrodinaphtho[10]annulene, a hydrocarbon whose synthesis had been attempted four decades ago, was achieved for the first time. Moreover, the dinaphtho[10]annulene was transformed smoothly into stable zethrene derivatives substituted at its 7,14-positions, showing that it serves as a good reservoir of zethrene derivatives. Optical and electrochemical properties of a disubstituted zethrene derivative are also presented.

Herein, we describe a concise and efficient synthesis of an angularly extended stable zethrene derivative 1, designed to have more benzenoid rings in the closed-shell resonance form. This compound exhibited enantiomeric structures in the solid state derived from the benzo[4]helicene structure and rapid interconversion in solution. Its far-red absorption, near-infrared emission and amphoteric redox properties were also revealed.

Singlet diradicaloids hold great potential as semiconductors for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). However, their relative low material and device stabilities impede the practical applications. Here, to achieve balanced stability and performance, two isomeric dibenzoheptazethrene derivatives with singlet diradical character were synthesized in a concise manner.

Herein, we demonstrate a novel one-pot synthetic method towards a series of boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (B-PAHs, 1 a-1 o), including hitherto unknown B-doped zethrene derivatives, from ortho-aryl substituted diarylalkynes with high atom efficiency and broad substrate scopes. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on the experimental investigation together with the theoretical calculations, which involves a unique 1,4-boron migration process. The resultant benchtop-stable B-PAHs are thoroughly investigated by X-ray crystallography, cyclic voltammetry, UV/Vis absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopies.

Laterally extended zethrenes can be regarded as Z-shaped nanographenes with four zigzag edges, but their synthesis is very challenging. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of by far the largest zethrene molecule, a superoctazethrene (SOZ) derivative SOZ-Cl, in crystalline form. Although the parent SOZ is calculated to have a very large diradical character ( y = 81.

The title compound, CH, , was synthesized as a derivative of hepta-zethrene bearing two methyl and two -butyl-phenyl substituents, respectively, at the 1,9- and 7,15-positions. The asymmetric unit consists of one half of the mol-ecule, which lies about an inversion centre. Albeit remotely located, the substituents contort the hepta-zethrene plane.
