Electronic and Crystal Engineering of Acenes for Solution‐Processible Self‐Assembling Organic Semiconductors

High charge-carrier mobility in bis- silylethynylated acenes: This article highlights new organic semiconductor materials (see figure) with pronounced p- and n-type charge-carrier mobilities. Particular emphasis is given to the evolution of the electronic properties with increasing number of annulated rings in the ascending bis-silylethynylated acene series as well as the rational supramolecular crystal engineering.
