Highly deformed o-carborane-functionalised non-linear polycyclic aromatics with exceptionally long C-C bond lengths

The effect of substituting o‐carborane into the most sterically hindered positions of phenanthrene and benzo(k)tetraphene is reported. Synthesised via a Bull‐Hutchings‐Quayle benzannulation, the crystal structures of these non‐linear polycyclic aromatics exhibited the highest aromatic deformation pa...
