In this review, we describe the developments in the field of naphthalene diimides (NDIs)
from 2016 to the presentday. NDIs are shown to be an increasingly interesting class of …

With their electron-rich skeletons, acenes have traditionally been used as hole transporting
materials in organic electronic applications. However, prudent structural modifications and …

Two kinds of conjugated C 3-symmetric perylene dyes, namely, triperylene hexaimides
(TPH) and selenium-annulated triperylene hexaimides (TPH-Se), are efficiently synthesized …

The trisulfide radical anion S3˙− is well-known as the blue chromophore in ultramarines and
it has a versatile role in materials chemistry, especially in the redox chemistry of alkali metal …

Naphthalimides have found extensive applications in materials science and
pharmaceuticals. It is still highly desirable to develop efficient methods for the synthesis of …

Tumor hypoxia is believed to be a major bottleneck in the clinical transformation of
photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, a half-sandwich iridium (III) complex [(η5-Cpxbiph) Ir (N …

Recent advances in the chemistry of electron-poor polycyclic aromatic molecules are
reviewed with a focus on new structural designs and emerging synthetic methods. We …

Largely π-extended rylene diimide-fused thienoacenes, a new family of fully fused electron
donor–acceptor (D–A) molecules, have been readily synthesized by a novel trisulfur radical …

A range of ortho-π-extended PDI derivatives are straightforwardly synthesized in good yields
through highly regioselective heteroannulations of ortho-alkynyl-substituted PDI derivatives …

Electron‐carrying polymers are highly desired for various optoelectronic applications but are
still scarce. Herein, two anthracene diimide (ADI) polymers with thiophene and bithiophene …
