Benedikt P. Klein, Lukas Ruppenthal, Samuel J. Hall, Lars E Sattler, Sebastian M. Weber, Jan Herritsch, Andrea Jaegermann, Reinhard J. Maurer, Gerhard Hilt, and Michael Gottfried, ChemPhysChem 22, 1-10 (2021)

"Using photoelectron spectroscopy, near edge X-ray absoption fine structure spectroscopy, and density functional theory, we characterize the electronic and optical properties of pyrene and azupyrene thin films. The differences between the properties of the two compounds can be understood in terms of their different bonding topology."
