✦ Synopsis

Phenacenes: A Family of Graphite Ribbons. Part 1. Syntheses of Some (7) Phenacenes by Stilbene-Like Photocyclizations.

-By employing stilbene-like photocyclizations, the synthesis of the up to now largest known phenacenes (VII) and (XI) containing seven rings is described. The parent system (VII) is an extremely insoluble compound. The alkyl substituents in (XI) greatly improve the solubility. -(MALLORY, F. B.; BUTLER, K. E.;
