Applications | Chemical Reviews ACS ACS Publications C&EN CAS Find my institution Log In …

Over the past decade, the number of research groups exploring the field of organic
electronics has exploded due to the potential use of organic semiconducting materials as a …

Strategies for the design and construction of non-linear, 2D and 3D conjugated
macromolecules are presented in this critical review. The materials, termed here as star …

Planarized star-shaped oligothiophenes 1 have been synthesized by connecting short-chain
oligothiophenes on a benzo [1, 2-b: 3, 4-b ': 5, 6-b ''] trithiophene central core. Their …

The facile synthesis of poorly soluble unsubstituted and modified α-quinque-and
sexithiophenes under microwave irradiation in the liquid phase is described. The use of …

Novel X‐shaped conjugated oligothiophenes, which form a family of well‐defined C4‐
substituted compounds with a core thiophene ring that bears four short‐chain branches …

Tricyanovinyl-capped oligothiophenes of up to six rings have been synthesized and
characterized. The substituted oligomers display dramatic reductions in both their optical …

Perfluoroaryl (Arf)-derivatized siloles and thiophenes have been synthesized via
nucleophilic aromatic substitutions (SNAr) involving reactions of hexafluorobenzene …

Oligothiophene-substituted 1, 1, 4, 4-tetracyanobutadienes (TCBDs) have been synthesized
by [2+ 2] cycloaddition reactions between tetracyanoethylene and oligothiophene alkynes …

The chapter introduces and defines the term star-shaped mesogens as a highly symmetric
subgroup of multipodes. Hekates, the three arm stars, are in the focus of the other sections …
