Annularly Fused Hexapyrrolohexaazacoronenes: An Extended π System with Multiple Interior Nitrogen Atoms Displays Stable Oxidation States

The heteroatom-stabilized annularly fused hexapyrrolohexaazacoronene shown (N blue, F green) was synthesized and isolated as a representation of a new class of nitrogen-containing molecules with extended π systems. The reversible redox behavior, a consequence of the interior N atoms, hints at potential applications in organic electronics.
