Diacenaphthylene-fused benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophenes: polycyclic heteroacenes containing full-carbon five-membered aromatic rings

Abstract

Diacenaphthylene-fused benzo[1,2-<italic>b</italic>:4,5-<italic>b</italic>′]dithiophenes are synthesized in an efficient way. Their physicochemical and charge transport properties are investigated.
