Abstract

Diamond meets graphene: Adamanphene is a molecular nanographene that integrates an adamantane core with four hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene units, thereby merging key structural motifs of carbon’s 3D and 2D allotropes. Precisely organized into a tetrahedral Platonic geometry, this design transforms planar π-systems into a defined three-dimensional architecture, yielding a porous framework with electronically decoupled π-chromophores and establishing a versatile platform to explore dimensionality and photophysical behavior in carbon nanostructures.
