Abstract
Communication: Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are model compounds for graph ite and have interesting electronic and optoelectronic properties. The synthesis and preliminary characterization of hexaalkyl-substituted h exa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (see Figure) are described. It is shown th at they exhibit hexagonal columnar mesophases with remarkably large wi dths, e.g., 339 K for R = n-C12H25.
