What is it about?
We have synthesized 6,6'-bipentacene. Bispentacene takes orthogonal conformation in the solid-state and exhibits four reversible redox potentials.

Why is it important?
we have synthesized 13,13'-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-6,6'-bipentacene from the soluble bispentacenequinone precursor.
Perspectives
The soluble precursor method leads us to believe that this strategy enables the preparation of higher acenes with improved stability and solubility.
