We report the challenging synthesis and electronic properties of a new class of rhombic peri -fused acene dimers, the so-called peri -acenoacenes. Compared to rectangular peri -fused peri -acenes, peri -acenoacenes show less diradical character and higher stability. Two soluble and stable aryl-subst...
