Non‐Pyrolytic, Large‐Scale Synthesis of Trichalcogenasumanene: A Two‐Step Approach

Abstract

Trichalcogenasumanenes were synthesized on a multigram scale through a two-step approach that takes advantage of non-pyrolytic cyclization and solventless ring contraction. Solid-state structure and photophysical investigations demonstrate that these compounds are promising candidates for electronic materials.
