Abstract

The synthesis of several perfluoroalkylated hexabenzocoronene derivatives is described. The substituents range from linear semiperfluoroalkylated chains to branched perfluoroalkylated chains. Novel strategies were applied to overcome the low solubility and the low reactivity of such chains.

Key words

coronenes - tolanes - perfluoroalkyl substituents - cross-coupling - cyclodehydrogenation
