A new synthetic route to tetraindenopyrene (TIP)-a bowl-shaped cut-out structure of C<sub>70</sub> -is reported. The key step in this approach is a fourfold palladium-catalyzed C-H activation that increases the yield more than 50 times in comparison to the approach originally described by Scott and co-workers. Besides examination of its optoelectronic properties and study of its aggregation in solution, TIP was also re-investigated by dispersion-corrected DFT methods, which showed that dispersio ...[more]
