A perylene five-membered ring diimide for organic semiconductors and π-expanded conjugated molecules†
Abstract
A perylene five-membered ring diimide, PDI39, was developed as a new electron-deficient building block for n-type semiconductors. The π-expanded conjugated molecules containing azulenes were synthesized from PDI39. These conjugated molecules show helical geometry and near-infrared absorption up to 810 nm.
