Engineering a twist in 9,10-diethynylanthracenes by steric interactions.
A series of 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracenes decorated with sterically demanding tert-butyl substituents have been prepared and spectroscopically characterised. We demonstrate that the introduction of two bulky substituents in the ortho position of the phenyl rings effectively locks the ground sta...
