Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon with Key words azulenes Embedded Azulene Unit non-alternate hydrocarbons polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Embedding of azulene structure and electronics into a PAH: – + Synthesis of azulenium- and azulene-embedded PAH: H AgBF4 Et3N chlorobenzene + PhMe 1 d 0.5 h – Ag 77% yield 78% yield – BF4 1 2H+ 2 Significance: Incorporation of heptagons and Comment: Two-electron oxidation of the silver(I) pentagons into a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ion promoted a three-fold transannulation reaction (PAH) core leads to changes in the molecular between the aromatic and acetylene units of 1 re- geometry and electronic properties of the original sulting in the selectively embedded azulenium cat- PAH.
