title: Coronene-Containing N-Heteroarenes: 13 Rings in a Row.
abstract: We describe the modular synthesis of three novel large N-heteroarenes, containing 9, 11, and 13 annulated rings. This modular system features fused azaacene units to a coronene nucleus. We evaluate the optical and electronic properties and the solid-state packing of the targets. The electronic properties of the 13-ring N-heteroarene allow the fabrication of a proof-of-concept thin-film transistor. Electron mobilities up to 8 × 10(-4) cm/(V s) were obtained for polycrystalline films.
