Cover Feature: Fulvalene‐Based Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Ladder‐Type Structures: Synthesis and Properties (Chem. Eur. J. 32/2021)

“Stairway to Heaven” molecules based on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures bridged by fulvalene motifs were prepared from simple precursors using Lawesson's reagent. These ladder-type are multi-redox systems that exhibit both reversible oxidations and reductions with electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gaps correlating the optical ones. Representative cyclic voltammograms shown as “clouds”. More information can be found in Full Paper M. B. Nielsen et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202100984).
