Abstract:
The synthesis and characterization of a new type of a highly conjugated heterocyclic π-chromophore, consisting of a central triphenylene core fused with three perylene monoimide units (star-shaped molecules), is described. By judicious bay functionalization with tert-butylphenoxy substituents, aggregation was completely prevented by using 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, allowing for a straightforward purification and, for the very first time, the complete separation of the constitutional isomers by HPLC. Both isomers can be easily distinguished by means of several conventional spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, we have illustrated the absence of supramolecular aggregates and enhanced processability by noncovalent functionalization of graphene substrates, showing an outstanding homogeneity and demonstrating a different doping behavior in both isomers, making it possible to distinguish them by Raman spectroscopy.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Isomerism in Alkenes
An isomer is called cis-2-butene when the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond, and the other stereoisomer, in which methyl groups are on the opposite side of the double bond, is called trans-2-butene. The cis and trans stereoisomers are not...
