AB The isoelectronic isomer of perylene, hereaftercalled as azuperylene, has been prepared. Electronicstructure analysis reveals that the new isomer can bedescribed as a union of two antiparallel azulenes in whichthe azulene-type aromatic character of the starting azuleneis partially retained. Four 2,8-dialkoxy (i.e., ethoxy,n-butoxy, n-hexyloxy, and n-octyloxy) functionalizedderivatives of the new isomer core have been prepared.The solid-state structures of the new compounds havebeen resolved showing exceptional herringbone π–πstacking ideal for charge transport. Organic field-effecttransistors on sublimated substrates display an excellenthole transport mobility up to 1.03 cm2 V−1 s−1 that largelysurpasses that of perylene and reveals the great potentialfor charge transport of this new class of nonbenzenoidcompounds.
