Graphical Abstract

The hole story: using a new synthetic concept the title hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (HBCs) were synthesized with high atom economy. The coaxial arrangement of the HBCs and arylamines allowed a “double-cable” hole transport (see picture), that is, transport through the central core (white) and the outer shell (green).
