Reversible conversion between excited-states plays an important role in many
photophysical phenomena. Using 1-(pyren-2′-yl)-o-carborane as a model, we studied the …

Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in synthesizing atomically
precise carbon nanostructures, particularly graphene nanoribbons (NRs), employing …

A series of tetracationic quadrupolar chromophores containing three-coordinate boron π-
acceptors linked by different π-bridges, namely 4, 4′-biphenyl, 2, 7-pyrene, 2, 7-fluorene, 3 …

The pressing concerns of environmental sustainability and growing needs of clean energy
have raised the demands of carbon and organic based energy storage materials to a higher …

Efficient synthetic approaches for the incorporation of nitrogen into polyaromatic compounds
(PACs) in different patterns as stabilising moiety for π‐extended systems and modification …

High-efficiency narrow-band luminescent materials have attracted intense interest, resulting
in their great colorimetric purity. This has led to a variety of high-tech applications in high …

We synthesized new pyrene derivatives with strong bis (para‐methoxyphenyl) amine donors
at the 2, 7‐positions and n‐azaacene acceptors at the K‐region of pyrene. The compounds …

The synthesis of a range of brominated-Bn-containing (n= 1, 2) polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) is achieved simply by reacting BBr3 with appropriately substituted …

To investigate the “site effect” of pyridyl substituents on a pyrene core, four regioisomeric
monopyridyl-pyrene (1–4) and five regioisomeric dipyridyl-pyrene (5–9) conjugates were …

Given that pyrene represents one of the most versatile chromophores, the development of
new selective routes for its functionalization and tuning of its emission properties is highly …
