We report the synthesis and characterization of a fan-shaped chiral nanographene 1, which is composed of 6 hexabenzocoronene subunits with 216 conjugated carbon atoms. In the dehydrocyclization reaction, 38 CC bonds are formed simultaneously. 1 exhibits strong panchromatic absorption from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared, with an absorption coefficient of 209,000 L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ at 564 nm. Optically pure samples, obtained via chiral HPLC, show distinct ECD signals (|Δε| = 704 L mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ at 405 nm). Upon excitation, 1 emits near-infrared fluorescence at 820 nm with a quantum yield of 5.5%. These photophysical properties of 1 were analyzed with the assistance of DFT calculations.
