title: Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of a hexapyrenylbenzene derivative.
abstract: In this paper, we present a synthetic approach to the first hexapyrenylbenzene starting from 4,5,9,10-tetrahydropyrene. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic measurements show strong and red-shifted fluorescence both from locally excited pyrene states and from the excitonic manifold of the aggregate.
