Merging tribenzotriquinacene with hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene: a cycloheptatriene unit generated by Scholl reaction.
The single-wing extension of the bowl-shaped tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) framework with polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbon units has been reported. In the course of a Scholl reaction, one of the three-dimensional bays of the TBTQ core has been bridged by a PAH unit to generate a seven-membered ring within the merged TBTQ-(hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene) scaffold.
