A synthetic strategy based on a ring expansion reaction to introduce eight-membered rings into polycyclic aromatic frameworks is reported. The octagon-embedded hexabenzocoronene synthesized with this strategy features a saddle-shaped polycyclic framework as revealed by the single crystal X-ray crystallography.
- eight-membered ring,
- polycyclic arenes,
- ring expansion

  The commonly used formal potential of the redox couple of ferrocenium/ferrocene (F_c⁺/F_c) in the Fermi scale is -5.1 eV, which is calculated on the basis of an approximation neglecting solvent effects using a work function of 4.46 eV for the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) and an electrochemical potential of 0.64 V for (F_c⁺/F_c) versus NHE.
