Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks of twisted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon

A dibenzo[g,p]chrysene (DBC)-based hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) was constructed by shape-fitted docking of the twisted pi-conjugated core. The activated HOF, possessing exactly eclipsed stacking of the DBC cores, (CPDBC-1a) had a BET surface area of 1548 m(2) g(-1) and possessed photoconductivity.
