Bottom-up solution synthesis of narrow nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbons

Bottom-up solution synthesis of narrow nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbons.

Large quantities of narrow graphene nanoribbons with edge-incorporated nitrogen atoms can be synthesized via Yamamoto coupling of molecular precursors containing nitrogen atoms followed by cyclodehydrogenation using Scholl reaction.

Facile bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanofragments and nanoribbons by thermal polymerization of pentacenes.

To prepare nanosized graphene-like molecules of a defined structure (defined-width graphene nanoribbons or nanofragments) by a simple bottom-up method, thermal polymerization reactions of pentacenes were investigated. By optimizing heat treatment temperature and initial precursor weight, long-length fused pentacene molecules were successfully obtained at least up to octamer (n = 8). Here, the d...

Bottom-up synthesis of liquid-phase-processable graphene nanoribbons with near-infrared absorption.

Structurally defined, long (>100 nm), and low-band-gap (∼1.2 eV) graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) were synthesized through a bottom-up approach, enabling GNRs with a broad absorption spanning into the near-infrared (NIR) region. The chemical identity of GNRs was validated by IR, Raman, solid-state NMR, and UV-vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy revealed well-ordered self-assembl...
