Incorporation of a non-hexagonal ring into a nanographene framework can lead to new electronic properties. During the attempted synthesis of naphthalene-bridged double [6]helicene and heptagon-containing nanographene by the Scholl reaction, an unexpected azulene-embedded nanographene and its triflyloxylated product were obtained, as confirmed by X-ray crystallog. anal. and 2D NMR spectroscopy. A 5/7/7/5 ring-fused substructure containing two formal azulene units is formed, but only one of them shows an azulene-like electronic structure. The formation of this unique structure is explained by arenium ion mediated 1,2-Ph migration and a naphthalene to azulene rearrangement reaction according to an in-silico study. This report represents the first exptl. example of the thermodynamically unfavorable naphthalene to azulene rearrangement and may lead to new azulene-based mol. materials.
