1. A method for synthesizing a graphene nanoribbon, the method comprising:
providing a linearly conjugated aryl compound having a formula (I): wherein n is an integer of 1 to 100,000; R1 to R4 are independently selected from H and R5 to R7 are independently selected from H, alkyl, aryl, and trimethylsilyl; and performing polycyclization of the linearly conjugated aryl compound to provide a graphene nanoribbon precursor; performing cyclodehydrogenation of the graphene nanoribbon precursor to provide the graphene nanoribbon.
