title: Synthesis of electron-poor hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes.
abstract: The oxidative cyclodehydrogenation of electron-poor arenes was achieved using DDQ-CF(3)SO(3)H resulting in hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes with electron withdrawing Br, F and CF(3) groups. This method will lead to their expansion into a new class of electron transport materials.
