▎ 摘  要

A solution-based chemical synthesis of two gra-phene nanoribbons with armchair edges is reported. The precursor oligophenylene molecules are synthesized and subjected to oxidative cyclodehydrogenation to afford the target molecules, G-1 and G-2. These molecules have good solubility in organic solvents, and show a large redshift in their absorption edge (up to 185 nm) and emission maximum (up to 125 nm) after planarization. Fibrous structures are formed upon self-assembly of molecules through columnar pi-pi stacking. Such molecular assemblies may be useful for various applications.
