Popis: Simple syntheses of a variety of soluble hexa- peri -hexabenzocoronenes are accomplished using an easily prepared hexakis (4-acetylphenyl)benzene as a common precursor. The concentration-dependent emissions of various HBC’s in solution indicate that they undergo extensive aggregation despite the presence of bulky (peripheral) isoalkyl and tert -butyl groups. The various planar HBC’s undergo reversible electrochemical oxidations and form stable monomeric cation-radical salts in solution.
