N-heteroacenes.
The synthesis and the property evaluation of several large N-heteroacenes are discussed. Issues of stability and aromaticity are compared and investigated and a historical perspective of the field is given. Some of the larger heterocyclic materials that are evaluated in this concept article have been around for more than one hundred years, yet their chemistry and properties are not well known/understood.
