34. Under an inert atmosphere, thermal decomposition of 6,13-diethynylated pentacenes has been attributed to the Diels-Alder reaction between the alkyne and the pentacene chromophore, while photochemical decomposition leads to [4+4] intermolecular dimerization similar to anthracene.

The disordered isopropyl groups of molecule B were restrained to have the same geometry as that of one of the ordered isopropyl groups of molecule A by use of the SHELXL SAME instruction. Additionally, the Si-C distances of the disordered triisopropylsilyl group were allowed to refine to a common value. Likewise, the C-C distances of the secondary carbon atoms of the minor component were allowed to refine to a common value.
47. Torsion angles were calculated from the angle between the least squares plane generated from the carbon atoms of each acene.

52. Neighboring molecules are not related by symmetry, and the leastsquares planes of the acenes in molecule A and B are not parallel, thus requiring an alternative method of measuring the interplanar distances. Distances were measured from every individual acene carbon in molecule A to the neighboring least squares plane generated from the carbon atoms of both acenes in molecule B (and vice versa) to obtain the average value reported.
53. Interplanar distances were calculated from the distance between the least squares plane generated from the carbon atoms of covalently bonded acenes (the pentacene and its covalently bonded PAH moiety).
