In the lab, they synthesized an aromatic hydrocarbon called methoxy-substituted as-indacenoterrylene. This molecule has a unique structure, as its methoxy groups are located internally rather than at its periphery. > "Initially, we wanted to see if this hydrocarbon demonstrated novel phenomena due to its unique structure," says Fukui.
