27. All the crystals were grown by vapor transport crystallization except that of 6-phenylpentacene (1), which was grown by sublimation under vacuum. See Supporting Information for preparation of the crystals. For vapor transport crystallization, see: Laudise, R. A.; Kloc, C.; Simpkins, P. G.; Siegrist, T. J. Cryst. Growth 1998, 187, 449-454.
28. All density functional theory calculations were performed using Jaguar 6.0, Schrödinger, L.L.C., Portland OR, 1991-2004. The geometries were optimized in each case assuming no a priori molecular symmetry. The calculations used the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-31G** basis sets throughout. Calculated molecular geometries for 1-5 can be found in the Supporting Information.
