Dibenzoacridines were prepared by alkyne–carbonyl-metathesis and the optical properties of the products were studied.
A versatile synthesis of benzothiophene-fused pentalenes enables late-stage diversification and reveals substituent-dependent antiaromaticity, providing a platform for designing functional antiaromatic π-electron systems.
Rubicene, a key nanofragment of C70, is attracting great attention owing to its unique molecular structure and physicochemical properties.
A new borylation reagent is introduced for preparing B–N doped conjugated organic frameworks via direct borylation of aryl substituted pyridines and naphthyridines.
A series of reduced naphthalene and anthracene complexes of mononuclear scandium were prepared, which undergo diversified two-electron redox reactions with unsaturated molecules.
