Functionalized Dibenzo[<i>g</i>,<i>p</i>]chrysenes: Variable Photophysical and Electronic Properties and Liquid−Crystal Chemistry

Abstract

The photophysical and electronic properties of dibenzo[ g, p]chrysenes bearing electron-rich and -deficient substituents vary markedly with these substituents. The chemistry of the first liquid-crystalline dibenzo[ g, p]chrysene is also described.
