The exceptionally long (4.5 nm) monodisperse polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 1 contains 29 condensed five‐and six‐membered rings. Since the dodecyl chains make this extended, flat (tabular) molecule unusually soluble in common organic solvents, it can be readily characterized. Compound 1 can be reduced to the octaanion within a relatively small potential range, and the tetraction that forms on oxidation is stable for several seconds.
