Dehydrative π-extension to nanographenes with zig-zag edges

Dehydrative π-extension to nanographenes with zig-zag edgesDehydrative π-extension to nanographenes with zig-zag edges, Published online: 12 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07095-zNanographenes with zig-zag peripheries are expected to have unique electronic properties, but their application in organic electronics has been curbed by their difficult synthesis. Here, the authors develop a facile route to zig-zag nanographenes based on a key dehydrative π-extension reaction.
