Abstract
The key electronic properties of a family of 2D frameworks structurally convergent with holey graphenes were studied. The bandgap of these materials decreases monotonically with size, showing a common trend with anthracenes and kekulenes. This was rationalized by Clar's sextet rule, which reveals a direct relationship between the molecular systems and the 2D frameworks. In addition, a detailed benchmark against experimental data showcased the high quality of the models, which reproduce accurately available electronic properties. Overall, it was shown that DFT can be used to screen and understand the intrinsic bandgaps and electrochemistry potentials for technological applications prior to the synthesis of π-conjugated porous materials.
