All-benzenoid Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Synthesis, Self-assembly and Applications in Organic Electronics... 

In this section, we have presented the versatile synthesis of all-benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with different sizes, shape and functionalities. Their excellent charge transporting properties indicate that they are suitable active semiconductor materials for organic electronic devices. To fully evaluate these molecules for such purposes, detailed studies on their self-assembly in the bulky state, in solution and even at the soM/Uquid interface are necessary to understand the basic relations between the molecular structure, processing and self-assembly. 

It is expected that enlarging the aromatic macrocycle would enhance the columnar order due to intense, intermolecular n-n interactions and, thus, increase the charge carrier mobility. Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) is one of the largest and most symmetrical of all-benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, that function as a core fragment for DLCs. Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene contains 42 carbon atoms and 13 phenyl rings, so it can be considered as a nano-graphene. Mullen...
