# That one would be very difficult
because of the 10(!) fused benzene rings in the middle. (Though this works for dyes....) The N-N bonds (at the 'wrists') would also make it unstable; I only added them for the geometry. But it would (probably) polymerise and be a rubbery solid if it could be made at all.

Mind you, that's not to say it can't be done at all....
