Non‐alternant non‐benzenoid π‐conjugated polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs) are expected to exhibit very different electronic properties from the all‐benzenoid PHs. Herein, we report the synthesis and physical properties of three azulene‐fused acene molecules (1, 2 and 3), which are isoelectronic to the...
