Distorted B/O-containing nanographenes with tunable optical properties

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Feb 28;59(18):2644-2647. doi: 10.1039/d2cc06376j.

Abstract

We report the synthesis of two B/O-containing nanographenes, which feature the fusion of three or six planar B/O-heterocycles onto one hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene π-framework. Incorporation of the B/O-heterocycles not only leads to distorted geometries, but also modulates the electronic structures and results in gradually red-shifted absorptions and fluorescence.
