Since the discovery of highly conducting polyacetylene by Shirakawa, MacDiarmid, and
Heeger1 in 1977, π-conjugated systems have attracted much attention as futuristic materials …

This critical review discusses specific chemical and physicochemical requirements which
must be met for organic compounds to be considered as promising materials for applications …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of five extended arylacetylenes, 9,
10-bis-{[m, p-bis (hexyloxy) phenyl] ethynyl}-anthracene (A-P6t, 1), 9, 10-bis-[(p-{[m, p-bis …

We report six asymmetric alkylated anthracene-based molecules with different alkyl side
chain lengths for use in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Alkyl side chains can …

This study describes the synthesis, liquid crystal and photophysical properties of fluorescent
biscyanovinyl diphenylcarbazole-based hexacatenars. The mesomorphic and …

A series of dialkylated dithienothiophenoquinoids (DTTQs), end‐functionalized with
dicyanomethylene units and substituted with different alkyl chains, are synthesized and …

Three quadrupolar D− π–A− π–D compounds, bearing alkoxy phenyls as mild electron
donors and a benzothiadiazole (A), two benzothiadiazoles (B), or a benzothiadiazole linked …

A series of symmetrical D− π-A− π-D molecules based on benzothiadiazole and oligo
(thienylenevinylene) s were facilely developed. The investigation of their photophysical and …

A symmetrical linear D-π-A-π-D hexacatenar compound with 2, 1, 3-benzothiadiazole as the
acceptor core connected at its 4, 7 position with phenylthienylethynyl spacers has been …

During the past few decades, thousands of organic semiconductors have been designed
and synthesized for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). However, most of them exhibit non …
