- Abstract
It is shown in this work that high electron affinity can be combined with high solubility and practical accessibility in corannulene‐based electron acceptors. The electron affinity originates from the presence of three different types of electron‐withdrawing groups (imide, sulfone, and trifluoromethyl) on the aromatic scaffold. The imide substituent further hosts a long alkyl chain (C18H37) to boast solubility in a wide range of organic solvents. The synthesis is modular and consists of three simple steps from a commonly available corannulene derivative with an overall isolated yield of 22–27 %.
