title: Photochemical synthesis of 2,3,9,10-tetrabromopentacene: its unusual photodimerization.
abstract: The photogeneration of 2,3,9,10-tetrabromopentacene from its precursor dione by photodecarbonylation was investigated. An unusual photodimer, 3,3',9,9',10,10'-hexabromo-2,2'-bipentacene, is produced.
