“…[51,52] [d] The values were determined from the density functionalt heory calculations. Diels-Alder (Povarov) reaction, [38,39] the Heck coupling, [40,41] and base-mediated cyclodehydrohalogenation, [42,43] making it potentially useful for ab road range of researchers.T hird, given the difficulties inherent to designing n-type and ambipolar organic semiconductors [53,54] and the known utility of nitrogen substitution for coaxing such behavior from acenes, [32,33] the reported rubicenes and tetrabenzopentacenes hold particular promise as organic electronic functional materials.F inally,n itrogen-containing fullerenes and graphene nanoribbons remain relatively rare and challenging to prepare, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and as such, we envision that our approach could eventually prove valuable for the design and construction of extended doped carbonaceous frameworks.A ltogether, our findings may open new research avenues and provide unique opportunities for the solution-phase synthesis of novel carbon-based materials.…”
