We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel, stable and blue heteroacene, 2-methyl-1,4,6,7,8,9-hexaphenylbenz(g)isoquinolin-3(2H)-one (BIQ 3). BIQ 3, with its relatively small π framework, has an absorption λmax at 620 nm, which is larger than that of pentacene (λmax=582 nm), but BIQ 3 i...
