Abstract:
A new relative of pentacene : The dialkynylated tetraazapentacene (see figure) was prepared by a two‐step synthesis from the corresponding quinone derivative. The heteroacene is an air‐stable, dark‐blue, crystalline material and is of great interest as a potential organic n‐electron‐transport material.
