Decafluorinated and Perfluorinated Warped Nanographenes: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Properties

Fluorination is a useful approach for tailoring the physicochemical properties of nanocarbon materials. However, owing to the violent reactivity of fluorination, achieving edge-perfluorination of nanographene while maintaining its original π-conjugated structure is challenging. Instead of using traditional fluorination, here, we employed a bottom-up strategy involving fluorine preinstallation and synthesized decafluorinated and perfluorinated warped nanographenes (
