title: Unexpected Michael Additions on the Way to 2.3,8.9-Dibenzanthanthrenes with Interesting Structural Properties.
abstract: The synthesis and properties of a new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing eight annulated rings and based on the anthanthrene core is described. An unexpected, nucleophile-dependent Michael addition to a dibenzanthanthrene-1,7-dione is found, giving a product with three triisopropylsilylacetylene units and a remarkable solid-state structure (as determined by X-ray crystallography).
