Abstract

The classification of absorption bands in the acene series (α, p, β-bands) was first based on the annellation effect and later on the polarization of the bands with regard to the molecular axes (L b,L a,B b,B a-bands). Both give the same result since annelation axes and molecular axes coincide. This is not so in the pyrene series. Annellation axes and molecular axes are different and it is shown that the classification of bands can be based only on the annellation effects. Moreover, the electronic asymmetry of the pyrene system is demonstrated by a striking asymmetric annellation effect. A number of higher annellated pyrenes have been synthesized: 1·-benzonaphtho-(2″·3″ :6·7)-pyrene, dinaphto-(2'·3 :1·2)-(2″·3″:6·7)-pyrene, 1·14,4·5-dibenzo-pentacene, 5·,15·16-dibenzohexacene, 6·7,16·17-dibenzoheptacene, 1·16,4·5-dibenzohexacene and 7·8,17·18-dibenzo-octacene.
