Abstract

Zethrene-based condensed arenes dinaphthozethrene and diindenozethrene were synthesized by oxidative cyclodehydrogenation and palladium-catalyzed cyclization of 7,14-diarylzethrenes, respectively. Their structures were analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these compounds were investigated.
