Abstract
Several thiophene terminated thienoacenes with high mobilities in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have been reported; however, the structure-property relationship of thiophene terminated thienoacenes was unclear, especially the impact of α or β position substitution of terminal thiophene ring on molecular packing and physicochemical properties. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a six-ring-fused naphtho[2,3-b:6,7-b'] bithieno[2,3-d] thiophene (NBTT) and its derivatives 2,8-dioctyl-naphtho[2,3-b:6,7-b'] bithieno [2,3-d] thiophene (2,8-C8NBTT) and 3,9-dioctyl-naphtho[2,3-b:6,7-b'] bithieno [2,3-d] thiophene (3,9-C8NBTT). It is found that the alkylation on terminal thiophene ring can effectively tune the molecular stacking from a cofacial herringbone stacking mode (NBTT) to layer-by-layer packing (2,8-C8NBTT and 3,9-C8NBTT). Impressively, a hopping to "band-like" charge transport mechanism evolution of vacuum deposited films is realized by modulating the alkylation position on the terminal thiophene rings. As a result, the OTFTs based on 2,8-C8NBTT characterized by a "band-like" transport presents the highest mobility of 3.58 cm2 V-1 s-1 together with a remarkably high current on/off ratio around 109. Furthermore, organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on 2,8-C8NBTT thin film also exhibits higher photosensitivity (P) of 2.0 × 108, photoresponsivity (R) of 3.3 × 103 A W-1, and detectivity (D*) of 1.3 × 1016 Jones than those based on NBTT and 3,9-C8NBTT.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds being potent biochemical materials are ubiquitous molecules in our life. Amongst, the five membered aromatic ring systems, thiophene has emerged as a remarkable entity in organic electronics owing to its (i) high resonance energy, (ii) more electrophilic reactivity than benzene, (iii) high π-electron density, (iv) planar structure and, (v) presence of vacant d-orbital in addition to the presence of loosely bind lone-pairs of electrons on sulfur atoms. In recent past, thiophene-fused molecule namely, dithienothiophene (DTT) has attracted a tremendous attention of the researchers worldwide due to their potential applicability in organic electronics such as in solar cells, electrochromic devices (ECDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic limiting diodes (OLEDs), fluorescent probes, redox switching and so forth because of their (i) higher charge mobility, (ii) extended π-conjugation, and (iii) better tuning of band gaps, etc. In this particular review article, we envisioned to report the recent advancements made on the DTT-based architectures not only because of the potential applicability of this valuable scaffold in organic electronic but also to motivate the young researchers worldwide to look for the challenging opportunities related to this privileged building block in both material sciences and functional supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
Background: Poly( p-phenylene vinylene)s ( PPVs) and [2.2.2.2]paracyclophanetetraene ( PCT) are both composed of alternating π-conjugated para-phenylene and vinylene units. However, while the former constitute a class of π-conjugated polymers that has been used in organic electronics for decades, the latter is a macrocycle that only recently revealed its potential for applications such as organic battery electrodes. The cyclic structure endows PCT with unusual properties, and further tuning of these may be required for specific applications. Methods: In this article, we adopt an approach often used for tuning the properties of PPVs, the introduction of alkoxy (or alkylthio) substituents at the phenylene units, for tuning the optoelectronic properties of PCT. The resulting methoxy- and methylthio-substituted PCTs, obtained by Wittig cyclisation reactions, are studied by UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence, and cyclic voltammetry measurements, and investigated computationally using the visualisation of chemical shielding tensors (VIST) method. Results: The measurements show that substitution leads to slight changes in terms of absorption/emission energies and redox potentials while having a pronounced effect on the photoluminescence intensity. The computations show the effect of the substituents on the ring currents and chemical shielding and on the associated local and global (anti)aromaticity of the macrocycles, highlighting the interplay of local and global aromaticity in various electronic states. Conclusions: The study offers interesting insights into the tuneability of the properties of this versatile class of π-conjugated macrocycles.

Abstract
Previously it was demonstrated that triptycene end-capping can be used as a crystal engineering strategy to direct the packing of quinoxalinophenanthrophenazines (QPPs) towards cofacially stacked π dimers with large molecular overlap resulting in high charge transfer integrals. Remarkably, this packing motif was formed under different crystallization conditions and with a variety of derivatives bearing additional functional groups or aromatic substituents. Benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT) and its derivatives are known as some of the best performing compounds for organic field-effect transistors. Here, the triptycene end-capping concept is introduced to this class of compounds and polymorphic crystal structures are investigated to evaluate the potential of triptycene end-caps as synthons for crystal engineering.

Abstract
Largely π-extended rylene diimide-fused thienoacenes, a new family of fully fused electron donor-acceptor (D-A) molecules, have been readily synthesized by a novel trisulfur radical anion (S3˙-)-triggered stitching thienannulation strategy. The ladder-type fused thiophene cores are constructed in a stitching manner through multiple carbon-sulfur bond formation between acetylenic rylene dyes and S3˙-. A detailed mechanistic study of these stitching thienannulations unveiled the multiple reactivities of S3˙-. Physical properties of the newly formed D-A, A-D-A, and D-A-D type thienoacenes have also been investigated, which revealed their precisely controllable electronic properties.

Abstract
Recent advancements in organic field effect transistors have switched chemists' focus from synthesizing libraries of organic semiconductors to a more targeted approach where chemical alterations are performed on known semiconductors to further improve electronic properties. Among successful semiconducting polymer candidates, copolymers based on diketopyrrolopyrrole-and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene [P(DPP-TT)] have been subjected to modifications on the diketopyrrolopyrrole unit by using flanking groups and side chain engineering. Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moiety, however, has seen minimal modifications due to the limited number of modifying sites. Isoelectronic thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole could serve as an alternative since it is easily tunable via N-alkylation reactions. Therefore, for the first time, we report the replacement of the thieno[3,2-b]thiophene unit of P(DPP-TT) with thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole unit and its performance in p-channel field effect transistors. The copolymer exhibits linear characteristics to achieve a relatively high average hole mobility of 0.12 cm2 V-1 s-1 in bottom-gate/top-contact field effect transistors with threshold voltages as low as 0 V. These preliminary results highlight the potential of this thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole monomer for utilization in organic field effect transistors.

Abstract
Dibenzothienopyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole and the corresponding bis(S,S-dioxide) were synthesized by using a concise synthetic strategy. Despite the presence of six fused aromatic rings, π-expanded pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrroles of this type absorb and emit at relatively short wavelengths, which reflects inefficient π conjugation due to the angular arrangement of the aromatic rings. They exhibit interesting and complex electrochemical behavior, which highlights their potential in organic electronics. Both heteroacenes undergo two-stage oxidation while retaining the independence of each 1-phenyl-1H-[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]pyrrole, which was proved by in situ electron spin resonance measurements. Interestingly, electrochemically generated dicationdiradicals are not only distributed over the pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole scaffold, but also over the phenyl substituents located on nitrogen atoms.

Abstract
A new reliable computational model to predict the hole mobility of poly-crystalline organic semiconductors in thin films was developed. Site energy differences and transfer integrals in crystalline morphologies of organic molecules were obtained from quantum chemical calculations, in which periodic boundary conditions were efficiently applied to capture the interactions with the surrounding molecules in the crystalline organic layer. Then the parameters were employed in kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations to estimate the carrier mobility. Carrier transport in multiple directions has been considered in the kMC simulation to mimic poly-crystalline characteristics under thin-film conditions. Furthermore, the calculated mobility was corrected using a calibration equation based on microscopy images of the thin films to take the effect of grain boundaries into account. As a result, good agreement was observed between the predicted and measured hole mobility values for 21 molecular species: the coefficient of determination (R(2)) was estimated to be 0.83 and the mean absolute error was 1.32 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). This numerical approach can be applied to any molecules for which crystal structures are available and will provide a rapid and precise way of predicting device performance.

Abstract
We demonstrate a new approach to solution-processable dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) derivatives that can afford good thin-film transistors having mobilities higher than 0.1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). The key molecular design strategy is the introduction of one branched alkyl group at the edge of the DNTT core, which improves solubility while retaining semiconducting characteristics in the thin-film state. Dialkylation, i.e., the introduction of two branched alkyl groups on the DNTT core, had a detrimental effect on the semiconducting properties. Although the physicochemical properties of the mono- and dialkylated derivatives at the molecular level were almost the same, the thin-film absorption spectra and the ionization potentials (IPs) were markedly different, indicating that the intermolecular interaction in the thin-film state was affected by the number of alkyl groups. Indeed, the packing structures of the monoalkylated DNTTs in the thin-film state, which were estimated from the XRD patterns, were similar to that of parent DNTT, indicating the existence of the lamella structure with the herringbone packing motif. In sharp contrast, the XRD patterns of the dialkylated DNTT thin films showed poor crystallinity, and the packing structures were significantly different from that of parent DNTT. All the results of structural characterization in the thin-film state and evaluation of device characteristics of the DNTT derivatives with branched alkyl groups indicate that the introduction of a branched alkyl group in the molecular long-axis direction is an effective way to solubilize the rigid, largely π-extended organic semiconducting core without interfering with the semiconducting characteristics in the thin-film state.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and characterization of organic semiconductors applicable to organic electronic devices, such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), had been one of the most important topics in materials chemistry in the past decade. Among the vast number of materials developed, much expectation had been placed on thienoacenes, which are rigid and planar structures formed by fusing thiophenes and other aromatic rings, as a promising candidate for organic semiconductors for high-performance OFETs. However, the thienoacenes examined as an active material in OFETs in the 1990s afforded OFETs with only moderate hole mobilities (approximately 0.1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)). We speculated that this was due to the sulfur atoms in the thienoacenes, which hardly contributed to the intermolecular orbital overlap in the solid state. On the other hand, we have focused on other types of thienoacenes, such as [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT), which seem to have appropriate HOMO spatial distribution for effective intermolecular orbital overlap. In fact, BTBT derivatives and their related materials, including dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT), have turned out to be superior organic semiconductors, affording OFETs with very high mobilities. To illustrate some examples, we have developed 2,7-diphenyl BTBT (DPh-BTBT) that yields vapor-deposited OFETs having mobilities of up to 2.0 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) under ambient conditions, highly soluble dialkyl-BTBTs (Cn-BTBTs) that afford solution-processed OFETs with mobilities higher than 1.0 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), and DNTT and its derivatives that yield OFETs with even higher mobilities (>3.0 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) and stability under ambient conditions. Such high performances are rationalized by their solid-state electronic structures that are calculated based on their packing structures: the large intermolecular orbital overlap and the isotropic two-dimensional electronic structure are the key regardless of the molecular size and substituents on the BTBT and its related thienoacene cores. Along with the discovery of such attracting performances, versatile and practical methods for the synthesis of BTBT and its derivatives, and the π-extended derivatives including DNTT, dianthra[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DATT), and the thienoacenes with two thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moieties, have been developed. In addition, the materials have been recently utilized in sophisticated devices and circuits, including all-printed transistor arrays, flexible circuits on ultrathin plastic substrates, and biomedical applications, underscoring their promise as practical semiconductors for electronic device applications. These exciting results of the present BTBT-based materials are expected to open doors to new horizons of organic semiconductors in terms of practical application and the design and synthesis of far more superior materials.

Abstract
We describe a new synthetic route to the [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT) substructure featuring two consecutive thiophene-annulation reactions from o-ethynyl-thioanisole substrates and arylsulfenyl chloride reagents that can be easily derived from arylthiols. The method is particularly suitable for the synthesis of unsymmetrical derivatives, e.g., [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene, [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]anthra[2,3-b]thiophene, and naphtho[3,2-b]thieno[3,2-b]anthra[2,3-b]thiophene, a selenium-containing derivative, [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzoselenophene. It also allows us to access largely π-extended derivatives with two BTBT substructures, e.g., bis[1]benzothieno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene and bis[1]benzothieno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']naphtho[2,3-b:6,7-b']dithiophene (BBTNDT). It should be emphasized that these new BTBT derivatives are otherwise difficult to be synthesized. In addition, since various substrates and reagents, o-ethynyl-thioanisoles and arylthiols, respectively, can be combined, the method can be regarded as a versatile tool for the development of thienoacene-based organic semiconductors in this class. Among the newly synthesized materials, highly π-extended BBTNDT afforded very high mobility (>5 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) in its vapor-deposited organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), which is among the highest for unsubstituted acene- or thienoacenes-based organic semiconductors. In fact, the structural analyses of BBTNDT both in the single crystal and thin-film state indicated that an interactive two-dimensional molecular array is realized in the solid state, which rationalize the higher carrier mobility in the BBTNDT-based OFETs.

Abstract
Numerous conjugated oligoacenes and polythiophenes are being heavily studied in the search for high-mobility organic semiconductors. Although many researchers have designed fused aromatic compounds as organic semiconductors for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), pyrene-based organic semiconductors with high mobilities and on-off current ratios have not yet been reported. Here, we introduce a new pyrene-based p-type organic semiconductor showing liquid crystal behavior. The thin film characteristics of this material are investigated by varying the substrate temperature during the deposition and the gate dielectric condition using the surface modification with a self-assembled monolayer, and systematically studied in correlation with the performances of transistor devices with this compound. OTFT fabricated under the optimum deposition conditions of this compound, namely, 1,6-bis(5'-octyl-2,2'-bithiophen-5-yl)pyrene (BOBTP) shows a high-performance transistor behavior with a field-effect mobility of 2.1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and an on-off current ratio of 7.6 × 10(6) and enhanced long-term stability compared to the pentacene thin-film transistor.
