We report a novel synthetic route to a series of fused acene derivatives, in which linear extension of the fully conjugated core proves to be an efficient method to tune optoelectronic properties.

 

A bstract Vacua of different gaugings of D = 4 $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 supergravity that preserve the same supersymmetries and bosonic symmetry tend to exhibit the same universal mass spectrum within their respective supergravities. For AdS 4 vacua in gauged supergravities that arise upon consistent truncation of string/M-theory, we show that this universality is lost at higher Kaluza-Klein levels. However, universality is still maintained in a milder form, at least in the graviton sector: certain sums over a finite number of states remain universal. Further, we derive a mass matrix for Kaluza-Klein gravitons which is valid for all the AdS 4 vacua in string/M-theory that uplift from the gaugings of D = 4 $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 supergravity that we consider. The mild universality of graviton mass sums is related to the trace of this mass matrix.
