Description
Summary:A red star is born A new route for the preparation of large and insoluble molecular starphenes by decarbonylation of soluble precursors in the solid state is described in the Research Article on page 7752 by Andrej Jancarik, Andre Gourdon, and co‐workers. Scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum and absorption spectroscopy in frozen matrices, with both experiments run at liquid helium temperature, show that the electronic delocalization among the three pentacene branches is rather limited.
