Claim 11:
12. A bifunctional aromatic aldimine for producing quinolines, polyquinolines, nitrogen-doped aromatic molecular segments, and graphene nanoribbons according to:, and comprising:
an aromatic core comprising aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, wherein
n is a number of distinct rings and is an integer of at least 1, and
the aromatic core is substituted with at least one halogen;

an aldimine functionality immediately and covalently attached to the aromatic core, wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring; and
an aromatic terminal alkyne functionality immediately and covalently attached at any position of the aromatic core and capable of reacting with an aromatic aldimine in an aza-Diels Alder Povarov reaction, wherein
the at least one halogen is at meta position of the aromatic core relative to the aldimine functionality.
