title: Indeno[2,1-b]fluorene: a 20-π-electron hydrocarbon with very low-energy light absorption.
abstract: Smaller can be better: The first example of meta-quinodimethane embedded in an indenofluorene framework has been synthesized. 10,12-Dimesitylindeno[2,1-b]fluorene exhibits extremely low-energy light absorption, despite the small conjugation space of the molecule, which consists of only 20 π electrons.
