Abstract

Abstract : The edge chlorination of the benchmark nanographenes triphenylene and hexa- peri -hexabenzocoronene is conducted mechanochemically. Planarization and edge chlorination are combined which allows the preparation of chlorinated nanographenes in one step. Abstract : The edge chlorination of the benchmark nanographenes triphenylene and hexa- peri -hexabenzocoronene is conducted mechanochemically. This approach overcomes solubility limitations and eliminates the need for elaborate chlorination conditions. Additionally, the planarization of oligophenylenes and their edge-chlorination can be combined in a one-pot approach requiring as little as 60 minutes.
