The synthesis of benzoperylene and coronene compounds usually requires time consuming, thermally activated reactions that involve co‐reactants and/or catalysts. In their Full Paper on page 5289 ff. , A. Hirsch et al. describe a new synthetic approach to benzoperylenes and coronenes by a photo‐induced electrocyclic reaction. The transformation of the corresponding dendronized bay‐functionalized perylene diimides into benzoperylene and coronene compounds, as well as the aggregation behavior of each derivative, are investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy.
