| Summary: | This thesis presents the structural characterisation of three, non-linear,polyaromatic hydrocarbons - chrysene and 4,10-dichlorochrysene and 4,10-dibromochrysene. 4,10-Dichlorochrysene and 4,10-dibromochrysenewere obtained from a novel benzannulation reaction of their respective 2,6-diallylnaphthalene-1,5-diyl bis(2,2,2-trihaloroacetates) - the "BHQ reaction". Single crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray powder diffraction studies on these compounds were conducted in order to determine the effects of temperature and sample mixing on crystal morphologies and packing in the solid state. Such investigations are of importance to development of new organic materials for use in the field of molecular electronics. |
