Acenes [n]ac, consisting of linearly fused benzene rings, are important materials for organic electronics and are currently in the focus of materials research.[1] Reactivity increases among the acene series significantly with length,[2] causing instability for acenes longer than hexacene.

 

The acenes beyond hexacene are assumed to be notoriously unstable,[3] but are valuable for studying the transition from stable organic molecules to zig-zag graphene nanoribbons that may be metallic in the limit of infinite length. To allow experimental investigations of larger acenes,[4] we have developed synthetic access to acenes up to undecacene [11]ac.[5] We report on the properties of those higher acenes, in particular with respect to their optical and magnetic properties.
