Bottom-up organic synthesis serves as an efficient method to provide atomically precise heteroatom-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with not only well-defined size and edge structures but also specific concentrations and positions of the heteroatoms. We provide a plenary account of the preparation of nitrogen-doped PAHs (N-PAHs) through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between different dipolarophiles, as well as pyrazine-type N-doped diaza-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (diaza-HBC). Additionally, we present the synthesis of a class of helical N-charged PAHs, including one charged aza[5]helicene and two charged aza[4]helicenes. Moreover, the bottom-up organic synthesis strategy is further extended to the construction of novel nitrogen-boron-nitrogen (NBN)-containing PAHs. Finally, we discuss the synthesis of four-coordinate boron chromophores containing 6,12,18-tris(alkyl amine)-5,11,17-triazatrinaphthylene derivative ligands.1 Introduction2 Nitrogen-Doped PAHs Based on Dibenzo-9a-azaphenalene (DBAP)3 Cationic Nitrogen-Doped Helical PAHs4 Nitrogen–Boron–Nitrogen-Doped PAHs5 Conclusion and Outlook

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be considered as graphene nanoflakes in which the edges are hydrogenated. Zigzag and armchair-edged PAHs possessing circular, parallelogram, rectangular and triangular shapes have been studied using M06L/6-31+G(d) level of density functional theory (DFT). Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) analysis of the PAHs is done to characterize their electron distribution while the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) analysis was used for the absorption spectral analysis. MESP analysis clearly showed Clar’s sextet like electronic arrangement in armchair-edged systems whereas zigzag-edged ones showed significant electron localization towards the edges. TD-DFT analysis casts light upon the absorption features of these systems, which followed a linear trends in absorption maximum (lmax) for most of the armchair-edged systems with respect to the number of π-electrons. MESP analysis on the electron rich and electron deficient features of PAH systems led to the design of donor-spacer-acceptor type PAH-π-PAH systems (D-π-A systems) wherein a conjugated diene moiety functions as the π-spacer. Though these systems behaved weakly as D-π-A systems, with the introduction of electron donating functional group NMe2 on one PAH and electron withdrawing group COOH on the other led to the formation of strong D-π-A systems.  The MESP features, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) distribution, and absorption spectral features supported their strong D-π-A character. Among the different shapes studied, the rectangular PAH moiety showed the most efficient tuning of HOMO-LUMO gap. The optical and electronic data of PAH, PAH-π-PAH and functionalized PAH-π-PAH systems shed light upon possible tuning of their optoelectronic properties for practical applications.
