Graphene, comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb nanostructural arrangement, is the thinnest and strongest material yet known to science. Despite that this pristine carbon allotrope exhibits a variety of outstanding properties, its zero bandgap prevents its use for some optoelectronic applications. Fragments of graphene, or nanographenes, have shown a great potential to obviate these problems, thus paving the way for the development of chiroptical and optoelectronic properties.
