These nanographenes display a combination of armchair and zigzag edges, as shown by noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), and their electronic properties are elucidated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations which reveal relatively low HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of about 1.75 eV.}, pages = {997--999}, title = {On-Surface Synthesis of Dibenzohexacenohexacene and Dibenzopentaphenoheptaphene}, volume = {94}, year = {2021} }
