Abstract

We recently synthesized soluble derivatives of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (1) by cyclodehydrogenation.['] Compounds such as 1 are building blocks for supramolecular architectures; thus la shows a stable discotic mesophase with a hexagonal superstructure over a wide temperature range ['] and forms monomolecular layers on suitable substrates.[']
