Self-assembled nanostructures such as Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (HBCs) have received increased attention due to their potential for organic and supramolecular electronics. HBC has a highly extended pi-conjugated system which allows flexible side chains of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to be in...
