Although fire is now rarely used in synthetic chemistry, it was not until Robert Bunsen
invented the burner in 1855 that the energy from this heat source could be applied to a …

With the introduction of π-conjugated systems in electronic devices and the dream to arrive
at molecular electronics based on these systems, the detailed understanding of the …

Many areas of modern technology are dependent on sensitive analytical techniques, and
this is particularly true for environmental science, medicine, pharmacy, and cellular biology …

Tailored to the needs of medicinal and natural products chemists, the second edition of this
unique handbook brings the contents up to speed, almost doubling the amount of chemical …

Field-effect transistors are emerging as useful device structures for efficient light generation
from a variety of materials, including inorganic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes and …

In the last few years, thiophene‐based materials, which are semiconductor and fluorescent
compounds, have become a highly interdisciplinary field of research, with diverse studies …

Self-assembly—the autonomous organization of components into patterns and structures—
is a promising technology for the mass production of organic electronics. Making integrated …

We present the synthesis and characterization of a fused-ring compound, dithieno [2, 3-d: 2 ',
3 '-d '] thieno [3, 2-b: 4, 5-b '] dithiophene (pentathienoacene, PTA). In contrast to pentacene …

Both crystal packing and molecular size have strong influences on the charge mobility for
organic semiconductors. The crystal structures for oligothiophene (n T) can be roughly …

We demonstrate a light-emitting organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with pronounced
ambipolar current characteristics. The ambipolar transport layer is a coevaporated thin film …
