Tetrabenzoperylene (IV) was synthesized in order to see whether it has fixed double bonds suitable for a double diene synthesis with maleic anhydride. This was found to be the case. From the double adduct (VI) tetrabenzocoronene (VIIIa) was obtained. It cannot have superaromaticity as shown in VIIIb. Attempts to obtain tetrabenzocoronene by photocyclization from IX gave diphenyltribenzopyrene (X).

3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone and scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate) led to stepwise skeletal rearrangements to afford initially a hydrocarbon with a seven-membered ring and then tetrabenzo[a,d,j,m]coronene with all six-membered rings. The course of the rearrangement was interpreted in terms of the acid-catalyzed isomerization of 9,9′-bifluorenylidene into dibenzo[g,p]chrysene moieties on the basis
A facile route has been developed for the preparation of a new family of contorted 1.2,3.4,7.8,9.10-tetrabenzocoronenes (TBCs). A two-step cyclization reaction, i.e., oxidative photocyclization followed by FeCl3-mediated intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation, was carried out on the olefin precursors to obtain the final TBC compounds. These new TBC molecules have contorted conformation due to steric overcrowding as disclosed by single-crystal crystallographic analysis. Nevertheless, they showed extended pi-conjugation compared with coronene and exhibited strong aggregation in solution. The thermal behavior and self-assembly of TBC-C8 in solid were studied by a combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Compound TBC-C8 showed very good thermal and photostability and exhibited long-range ordered pi-stacking in the bulk state. Moreover, uniform nanofibers with tens of micrometer length are formed in the drop-casted thin films. TBC-C8 also possesses a desirable HOMO energy level (-5.10 eV), which allows efficient charge injection from electrodes such as gold electrode. The charge carrier mobilities were determined by using the space-charge limited-current (SCLC) technique and high average hole mobility of 0.61 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) was obtained for TBC-C8.

A series of contorted tetrabenzo[a,d,j,m]coronenes (TBCs) substituted with four fluoro-, chloro-, or methyl groups at 2,7,12,17-positions were synthesized and characterized. Except for the one with methyl substituents, which exhibits a shifted π–π stacking, the rest all show cofacial π–π stacking with small parallel displacements. One-dimensional growth along the stacking direction was observed in
