A C <sub>66</sub> Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon with Six Azulene Units and NIR-II Absorption: Toward Azulene-Based Carbon Allotropes
absorbing up to 2600 nm (0.48 eV). These results highlight nonalternant azulene-rich PAHs as a powerful and underexplored platform for the rational design of next-generation NIR-II dyes and functional organic materials.
