Herein, we report the synthesis of mechanically interlocked nitrogenated nanographenes. These systems have been obtained by clipping different tetralactam macrocycles around a 1.9 nm dumbbell-shaped nitrogenated nanographene. Thermal, optoelectronic, and electrochemical characterization of the different mechanically interlocked nanographenes evidence enhanced thermal and photochemical stability, and also absorption and emission properties that vary with the structure of the macrocycle.
