Resum:
Aiming to develop materials with new functionalities, we designed the synthesis of a naphthodiazaborinine (the BN isoster of the phenalenyl anion) that is bonded to a hindered di-orthosubstituted aryl system (9-anthracene). We used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to verify the structure of the molecule synthesized. To determine it unambiguously, we planarized the originally nonplanar molecule by removing H atoms that cause steric hindrance.
