Acetetracenylene-1,2-dione was synthesized by double FriedelCrafts acylation of tetracene with oxalyl chloride in 4654% yield. Photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal analysis of the compound revealed its band gap (Eg = 1.77 eV for the solid state), electron-accepting nature (E pc red = -1.35V vs. Fc/Fc+), and thermal stability (Tdecomp > 300 °C). Single crystals were successfully grown by physical vapor transport, and parallel π-stacking of the molecules was observed by X-ray crystallography.
