Make it flat : Coronene is made by dehydrogenation of cyclophanes, a method that offers great opportunities to introduce substituents and to control the symmetry of the molecule. Several methoxy‐substituted coronenes have been prepared and studied by crystal structure analysis and optical spectroscopy. They can be converted into strongly electron‐accepting coronene ketones, which offer many possibilities for further reactions in the future.
