Synthesis of Compounds Presenting Three and Four Anthracene Units as Potential Connectors To Mediate Infinite Lateral Growth at the Air/Water Interface
analysis. The reported experiments are considered first steps towards the ultimate goal of the rationalsynthesis of laterally "infinite", one-monomer-unit-thick molecular sheets with a long-range positional order and a periodic covalent-bonding pattern. Such sheets are referred to as 2Dpolymers and are considered a prime goal of chemical synthesis with intriguing applications.
