Congratulations to Joe, Georgina, Nigel Lucas, Jordan Smith, Sara and Keith on their recent publication in Inorganic Chemistry 2023, 62, 11028–11036 entitled “Exploring the Excited States of a Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-Substituted Dipyridophenazine Ligand and Its Metal Complexes”. The paper describes the synthesis and characterization of hexa-peri -hexabenzocoronene (HBC)-substituted dipyridophenazine (dppz) ligand (dppz-HBC) and its corresponding rhenium [Re(CO)3Cl] and ruthenium [Ru(bpy)2]2+ complexes were synthesized and characterized.
