N2 - The cover picture shows the structures that are obtained from the Scholl-type dehydrogenative coupling of 4,10-di-substituted chrysene derivatives using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The unexpected outcomes of these reactions (including hydroxylative dimerisation) are supported by single-crystal X-ray structure determinations and probed by DFT calculations. A mechanistic rational, which involves the generation of radical-cation intermediates, is presented in order to explain the varied nature of the products
