| Annulenes possess properties that may play an important role in the development of electronic devices. The goal of this research is to synthesize annulenes that contain either electron-donating or –withdrawing groups as well as a site for the attachment of the annulene to other compounds. Thus, the annulene can be linked to a plethora of electronically complementary species. These larger systems may exhibit changes in their spectroscopic or electrochemical properties in the presence of various ions which may make them useful as sensors or in other materials applications. The progress in the synthesis of these functionalized annulenes will be presented.
