Abstract

The synthesis and optical properties of a series of multinanometer-sized substructures of the phenyl-diacetylene carbon allotrope, graphdiyne, are described. These molecules are among the largest and most complex annulenic systems yet prepared, with extension of linear conjugation in two-dimensions to over twice that of any previously reported planar macrocycle. The graphdiyne substructures are constructed through convergent syntheses, ...
