A new family of distorted ribbon‐shaped nanographenes was designed, synthesized, and their optical and electrochemical properties were evaluated, pointing out an unprecedented correlation between their structural characteristics and the two‐photon absorption (TPA) responses and electrochemical band gaps. Three nanographene ribbons have been prepared: a seven‐membered‐ring‐containing nanographene presenting a tropone moiety at the edge, its full‐carbon analogue, and a purely hexagonal one. We have found that the TPA cross‐sections and the electrochemical band gaps of the seven‐membered‐ring‐containing compounds are higher and lower, respectively, than those of the fully hexagonal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Interestingly, the inclusion of additional curvature has a positive effect in terms of non‐linear optical properties of those ribbons. The advantage of defects: The effect of a tropone moiety on the nonlinear optical properties of ribbon‐shaped nanographenes is unequivocally demonstrated. Curved edges created by the inclusion of heptagonal carbocycles enhance the two‐photon absorption on graphene molecules.
