design, synthesis, and properties of innovative, planar, π-conjugated compounds in which a thiophene ring is fused with the skeleton of the naturally occurring dye isatin. The synthesis is achieved in high yields making use of an intramolecular direct arylation reaction as the key step, making the overall process potentially scalable. The synthetic sequence has been demonstrated also for an isatin bearing

The present invention concerns ortho-Terphenyls of general formula (I); wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H; CN; NO2; and saturated, unsaturated or aromatic C1-C40 hydrocarbon residues, which can be substituted 1 - to 5- fold with F, CI, OH, NH2, CN and/or NO2, and wherein one or more -CH2-groups can be replaced by -O-, -NH-, -S-, -C(=O)O-, -OC(=O)- and/or -C(=O)-; and X and Y are the same or different, and selected from the group consisting of F, CI, Br, I, and OTf (trifluoromethanesulfonate); and their use for the preparation of graphene nanoribbons as well as a process for the preparation of graphene nanoribbons from said ortho-Terphenyls.
