Abstract:
Twisted system: A photochemical cyclodehydrochlorination (CDHC) reaction is a relatively mild and efficient way to access highly contorted, helically coiled graphene nanoribbons. The material is characterized by a number of techniques and boasts a relatively large optical band gap of 2.15 eV.
