title: Synthesis and properties of ethylene-annulated di(perylene diimides).
abstract: A new synthetic method toward ethylene-annulated di(perylene diimides) from easily available ethylene-annulated di(perylene esters), which is conducted by ICl-induced cyclization and Mizoroki-Heck coupling of ethynylene-linked di(perylene esters), is reported.
