Octacene is anorganic compound and apolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and the eighth member of theacene or polyacene family of linear fused benzene rings.[1][2][3] Its сhemical formula isC34H20.
In 2010, the Bettinger group reported aphotochemical synthesis of octacene and nonacene, utilizing a cryogenic matrix-isolation technique to stabilize these highly reactive acenes. This approach requires precursors containing a doubleα-diketone bridge to enable the formation of octacene and nonacene.[4]
