Heptacene is a chemical organic compound with the molecular formula C 30 H 18 . The very reactive substance belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and is made up of seven condensed benzene rings . It was first described by Erich Clar . It was first presented (but not isolated ) in 2006. Its dication can be obtained and stored from heptacene dimers in concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature. Heptacene forms black-green crystals. Further research that u. a. for the organic electronics could be interesting ongoing.
