Heterocyclic Nanographenes and Other Polycyclic Heteroaromatic Compounds: Synthetic Routes, Properties, and Applications

Abstract: Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional chromophores and organic semiconductors. In this Review, we discuss the rich chemistry of large heteroaromatics, focusing on their synthesis, electronic properties, and applications in materials science. This Review summarizes the historical development and current state of the art in this rapidly expanding field of research, which has become o… Show more

“…1); methoxyphenyl indenopyrazoloquinoline derivatives (synthesized) have been applied as additives for Donor 2. They can be considered as two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules, called nanographenes, which can play a key role as functional chromophores and organic semiconductors [24].…”

“…3 From a molecular design point of view, the nature of the charge carriers could be empirically engineered by adjusting the electron density of the aromatic unit. Introduction of electron deficient nitrogen atoms [5][6][7][8] onto the aromatic core has been an effective method in endowing n-type characteristics. An emerging trend in recent n-type diskshaped molecules is manifested in the ladder-conjugated molecules containing rylene imide building blocks.…”
