Summary:Lock ’em up!Two tert‐butyl groups affect the conformational flexibility and emissive properties of a hexabenzoovalene. In their Communication on page 15594 ff, M. Mastalerz et al. describe “locking up” of a flexible precursor to an orange‐emitting hexabenzoovalene by oxidative cyclodehydrogenation, and release of the conformationally “locked” compound by selective dealkylation to give a flexible green‐emitting hexabenzoovalene.
