The critical review on the recent development of novel narrow bandgap polymers for high-
efficiency polymer solar cells concentrates on (i) the structural design of narrow bandgap …

Organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells are new members of trillion‐
dollar semiconductor industry. The structure of these devices generally consists of a stack of …

We report the synthesis and characterization of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)
incorporating thiophene-based building blocks. We show that these are amenable to …

Abstract π-Conjugated polymers (CPs) have broad applications in high-performance
optoelectronics, energy storage, sensors and biomedicine. However, developing green and …

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 …

Stereoregular fused thiophenes (SFTs: especially thieno [3, 2-b] thiophene (TT) and dithieo
[3, 2-b: 2′, 3′-d] thiophene (DTT)), as stable conjugated structures deriving from …

Two azulene-based π-conjugated systems, 5, 5′-di (2-azulenyl)-2, 2′-bithiophene and 2,
5-di (2-azulenyl)-thieno [3, 2-b] thiophene, were constructed via Suzuki–Miyaura cross …

Leveraging the self-assembling behavior of liquid crystals designed for controlling ion
transport is of both fundamental and technological significance. Here, we have designed …

Three new solution‐processable organic semiconductors (1–3) are synthesized and
characterized for p‐type organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The backbone of these …

A synthetic strategy to access asymmetric dinuclear bis (ansa-metallocene) pre-catalysts is
described. As a key step, the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of 9, 9-bis (trimethylsilyl) …
