Nitrogen‐doped Graphitic Carbon Synthesized by Laser Annealing of Sumanenemonoone Imine as a Bowl‐shaped π‐Conjugated Molecule

Abstract

Time for tuning: Nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon was synthesized from a bowl-shaped π-conjugated compound bearing an imine moiety; this bowl-shaped compound underwent carbonization through laser annealing while almost retaining the nitrogen/carbon ratio.
