Acene‐Integrated Buckybowls with Near‐Infrared II Absorption and over 90 % Photothermal Conversion Efficiency

. Subsequent investigations on magnetic ring currents revealed two local diatropic currents at two rows of acenes and one paratropic current at the s-indacene unit, respectively. Notably, both buckybowls show a broad absorption that reaches into near-infrared II region, and a high photothermal conversion efficiency (>90 %) was achieved when exposed to near-infrared 1064 nm laser photo-irradiation. This study highlights the unusual nature of merging the intrinsic properties of acenes with the inherent properties of buckybowls and showcases a potential avenue for acene utilization for the design of novel complex nanocarbons with a broad range of applications.
