Two novel nonhexagonal ring fused NBN-dibenzophenalenes (NBN-penta and NBN-hepta) were designed and synthesized. X-ray analysis reveals the planar structure of NBN-penta, while NBN-hepta displays a double-helical structure. Both compounds possess higher oxidation potential compared to the NBN-type zigzag-edged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The resultant NBN-penta and NBN-hepta exhibit global aromatic character based on X-ray analysis and DFT calculations. Furthermore, single crystal transistors of NBN-penta and NBN-hepta were fabricated, manifesting their promising potential in organic electronics.
