RT Journal Article T1 π-Extended Corannulene-Based Nanographenes: Selective Formation of Negative Curvature A1 Fernández García, Jesús Manuel A1 Evans, Paul A1 Medina Rivero, Samara A1 Fernández López, Israel A1 García Fresnadillo, David A1 Perles Hernáez, Josefina A1 Casado, Juan A1 Martín León, Nazario AB A geometrically selective bottom-up synthesis of curved nanographenes is described. The synthetic methodology used involves the extension of the π-system of positively curved corannulene by a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction followed by cyclodehydrogenation (Scholl oxidation). By selecting the conditions for the Scholl oxidation, the formation of a sevenmembered ring that also confers negative curvature to the resulting nanographene can be activated, offering two topologically distinct, curved nanographenes from a common precursor. Additionally, the structure−property relationship in these new nanographenes is explored via theoretical, electrochemical, photophysical, Raman, and X-ray crystallographic studies.
