Abstract:
The successful enlargement of the curved π-electron periphery of the wizard hat-shaped polycyclic aromatic compound 1 is described. The target structure 2 features an m,m,p,m,m,p,m,m,p-nonaphenylene belt fused to a central tribenzotriquinacene unit. The synthesis involves a multiple regioconvergent Scholl-type dehydrocyclization as the key step. Spectroscopic, structural, and electronic properties of the title compound 2 are reported.
