Cloverphenes are graphene‐type polyarenes, the structures of which resemble the threefold symmetry of clover leafs. In their Communication on page 173 ff., D. Peña and co‐workers present the synthesis and properties of a nanosized [16]cloverphene derivative, which consists of 16 fused benzene rings (22 benzene rings in total) and 102 sp 2 ‐hybridized atoms. The synthesis involves sequential [4+2] and [2+2+2] aryne cycloadditions.
