abstract = {This feature article focuses on the bottom-up approaches (solution-phase) based on organic synthesis
for the preparation of saddle-shaped distorted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We summarise the
recent progress on the synthetic strategies followed to obtain well-defined nanographenes containing
heptagonal and octagonal carbocycles, highlighting the novel strategy developed by our group together
with our recent contributions in the area of distorted aromatics. The presence of seven- or eight-membered
rings induces a saddle-shape curvature in the planar network pushing the structure out of the plane, which
influences the physical properties exhibited. Some brief details on the optical and electronic properties of
these curved nanostructures are also discussed.},
