Synthetic Approaches to Conjugated Polycyclic Hydrocarbons Featuring the Antiaromatic Indeno[2,1-c]fluorene Scaffold

Fully conjugated indeno[2,1-c]fluorene, a fragment of fullerene-C60, is a structural isomer of the 20π indenofluorene family, which is viewed as the antiaromatic analogue of the aromatic acene(s). Compared to the linear indeno[1,2-b]fluorene isomer featuring a para-quinoidal s-in...
