Direct Edge Functionalization of Corannulene-Coronene Hybrid Nanographenes.

ABSTRACT: For more than a century, electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions have been central to the construction of a rich variety of organic molecules that are useful in all aspects of human life. Typically, small aromatic nuclei, such as benzene, provide an ideal substrate. An increase in the number of annulated aromatic rings enhances the number of potential reactive sites and frequently results in complex product mixtures. Thus, nanographenes with a relatively large aromatic system are seldom selective in their substitution positions. Moreover, nanographene substrates with a scope for multiple substitution reactions and patterns remain rare. Herein, we demonstrate that a curved aromatic system based on a corannulene-coronene hybrid structure comprising 48 conjugated sp ²-
