Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) represent promising materials for the next generation of nanoscale electronics. However, despite substantial progress towards the bottom-up synthesis of chemically and structurally well-defined all-carbon GNRs, strategies for the preparation of their nitrogen-doped analogs remain at a nascent stage. This scarce literature precedent is surprising given the established use of substitutional doping for tuning the properties of electronic materials. Herein, we report the synthesis of a previously unknown class of polybenzoquinoline-based materials, which have potential as GNR precursors. Our scalable and facile approach employs few synthetic steps, inexpensive commercial starting materials, and straightforward reaction conditions. Moreover, due to the importance of quinoline derivatives for a variety of applications, the reported findings may hold implications across a diverse range of chemical and physical disciplines.
