What is it about?
Sterically congested tetraarylpyrenes exhibited emission in both solution and the solid-state. The monocationic species of pyrene 1 could be isolated because of the reasonably protected system.

Why is it important?
The aromaticity relocates from the biphenyl part to the naphthalene unit upon two-electron oxidation.
Perspectives
Sterically hindered pyrene underwent two-electron oxidation with SbCl5 to give the persistent pyrene dication.
