Oligothiophene-functionalized benzene and tetrathienoanthracene: Effect of enhanced π-conjugation on optoelectronic properties, self-assembly and device performance
The versatility of fourfold Stille coupling to afford oligothiophene- functionalized tetrathienoanthracene (TTA and benzene derivatives is described. The influence of the larger, more rigid TTA core on the electronic and structural properties was investig
