After a 5-year gestation, we can finally let chemists know what happens when you fuse donor/acceptor groups to s-indacene. This was a beast of a manuscript, with Bella doing 85% of the work. The 4 isomers would be impossible to make if they were acenes!

It's a little bit late, but I'm really excited for my first paper! For reaction monitoring by NMR, signal-averaging can be applied *after acquisition*, and results in better S/N *and* data density without the typical trade-off.
