Building nanographene by organic synthesis



Direct C-H coupling of pyrene makes nanographenes with defined shape and edge structures

Direct C-H coupling of pyrene makes nanographenes with defined shape and edge structures

Japanese scientists are making tiny fragments of graphene using direct
cross-coupling of C-H bonds to determine what effect size and edge geometry
have on the properties of carbon materials. By bolting together aromatic hydrocarbons, they can
build nanographene fragments with defined shapes in an attempt to relate geometry to performance.
Speaking at the RSC’s seventh International Symposium on Advancing the Chemical Sciences in Edinburgh, UK, Kenichiro Itami from Nagoya University explained .............read all at
