title: Synthesis of 2,3-substituted tetracenes and evaluation of their self-assembling properties in organic solvents.
abstract: [structure: see text] Rod-shaped 2,3-di-alkoxytetracenes, soluble in common organic solvents, have been synthesized and studied for their gelling ability in organic solvents and their unusual UV-visible spectroscopic properties.
