Abstract
The development of electron transport and n-type materials is still largely dominated by a limited number of organic semiconductors, with fullerenes at the forefront. In contrast, substantial progress has been made in developing hole transport and p-type materials. Therefore, expanding the range of electron acceptors, making them solution-processable, and elucidating their structural arrangement by X-ray crystallography is essential. We synthesised 2,2'-bi-(5,6,11,12-tetraazanaphthacene) (bi-TANC) and its triptycene end-capped derivative, 2,2'-bi(8,13-dihydro-8,13-[1,2]benzenonaphtho-5,6,15,16-tetraazanaphthacene) (bi-TpTANC), as electron acceptors. Bi-TANC exhibits a herringbone-like crystal packing with intermolecular π-π overlap, which is observed in typical organic n-type semiconductors. However, it showed poor solubility, similar to larger acenes. In contrast, bi-TpTANC exhibited favourable solubility, and its electrochemistry in solution was investigated. In the cyclic voltammogram of bi-TpTANC, reversible redox waves corresponding to 3-step/4-electron transfer were observed at -0.795 V (1e-), -0.927 V (1e-), and -1.44 V (2e-) as half-wave potentials. The redox wave associated with the two-electron transfer on the negative low-potential side indicates the presence of through-bond charge delocalisation in the monoanionic state. Furthermore, the LUMO level of bi-TpTANC is -4.1 eV, which indicates its potential as a promising air-stable n-type material.

Abstract
Pyrazinacenes are linearly fused heteroaromatic rings, with N atoms replacing all apical CH moieties. Component rings may exist in a reduced state, having NH groups instead of N, causing cross-conjugation. These compounds have interesting optical and electronic properties, including strong fluorescence in the near-infrared region and photocatalytic properties, leading to diverse possible applications in bio-imaging and organic synthesis, as well as obvious molecular electronic uses. In this study, we investigated the behavior of seven-ring pyrazinacene 2,3,11,12-tetraphenyl-7,16-dihydro-1,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,16,17,18-tetradecaazaheptacene (Ph4H2N14HEPT), with an emphasis on protic processes, including oxidation, tautomerism, deprotonation, and protonation, and the species resulting from those processes. We used computational methods to optimize the structures of the different species and generate/compare molecular orbital structures. The aromaticity of the species generated by the different processes was assessed using the nucleus-independent chemical shifts, and trends in the values were associated with the different transformations of the pyrazinacene core. The computational data were compared with experimental data obtained from synthetic samples of the molecule tBu8Ph4H2N14HEPT.

Abstract
Ortho substituted octaazaperopyrenes (OAPPs) are a new class of functional dyes characterized by their strong electron‐accepting behavior. Herein, the synthesis, as well as the electrochemical and photo physical properties of an OAPP dye, is reported. The OAPP target was prepared via selective nucleophilic substitution at the peri position of a bay chlorinated tetraazaperylene by introduction of four amino‐substituents. The resulting tetraminoperylene was reacted with different acyl chlorides and anhydrides to give the twisted bay chlorinated OAPP derivatives which were isolated in their reduced dihydro‐form. The OAPP target could be obtained via a palladium catalyzed dehalogenation and a subsequent oxidation. The eightfold isosteric [CH→N] replacement within the peropyrene core structure results in a large decrease of the frontier orbital energies, rendering the target compound a potent oxidant while preserving the planarity of the aromatic core. The radical anion was obtained by reduction of the OAPP with KC8 and characterized by EPR spectroscopy. A general discussion of the number and location of [CH→N] replacements in peropyrene structures and their frontier orbital energies is provided.

Abstract
Abstract:
The binding of anions by highly-coloured chromophore compounds is of interest from the point-of-view of the development of optical sensors for analyte species. In this review, we have summarised our work on the interactions between oxoporphyrinogen type host compounds and different analyte species using computational methods. The origin of our interest in sensing using oxoporphyrinogens stems from an initial finding involving anion-host interactions involving a conjugated oxoporphyrinogen molecule. This review starts from that point, introducing some additional exemplary anion binding data, which is then elaborated to include descriptions of our synthesis work towards multitopic and ion pair interactions. In all the projects, we have consulted computational data on host structure and host-guest complexes in order to obtain information about the interactions occurring during complexation. Density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations have been extensively used for these purposes. Oxoporphyrinogens are highly colored synthetically flexible compounds whose interactions with anions, ion pairs, and other species have been modelled using computational methods.

Abstract
The oxidative demethylation of ortho-dimethoxyacridone with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) regioselectively furnished an ortho-quinone leaving a methoxyl group unreacted, which further condensed with aromatic ortho-diamines to afford angularly fused π-extended acridone derivatives. Crystallographic analysis reveals the distinct manner of molecular packing in the crystals according to the dimension of π-extension. The benzene at the turning point possesses a shorter outer bond and a longer inner bond, which affects molecular conjugation and results in weakened aromaticity.

Abstract
Pyrazinacenes are a class of nitrogen-containing heteroacene molecules composed of linearly fused pyrazine units, which might also include dihydropyrazine groups leading to different reduced states of the compounds. While they are structurally similar to hydrocarbon acenes (e.g., pentacene) the presence of increasing numbers of N-heteroatoms introduces several different additional features of the compounds so that they can be considered for investigations beyond those suggested for acenes (i.e., organic field-effect transistors, solar cell components). Pyrazinacenes are in several ways complementary to C-H-only acenes based on the increasing stability of reduced states of the compounds with increasing numbers of fused pyrazine rings, although an acene-like electronic structure persists in the compounds so far studied. However, the introduction of multiple N atoms leads to properties that depart from C-H-only acenes. In particular, the compounds exhibit a delocalization of NH protons in extended reduced compounds and oxidation state switchability in solution and at interfaces. The presence of NH groups also allows an easy introduction of solubilizing groups at the pyrazinacene chromophore. In this Account, we will describe the preparation of extended pyrazinacenes from dipyrazino[2,3-b:2',3'-e]pyrazine (1,4,5,8,9,10-hexaazaanthracene; N6) derivatives up to 1,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,16,17,18-tetradecaazaheptacene (N14) and also assess structures of the relevant compounds based on X-ray crystallographic studies. Emergent properties of the molecules include highly unusual linear tautomeric processes based on a delocalization of protons (and the corresponding formation of orbitals based on multiple adjacent N lone electron pair interactions), which suggest special transport properties based on molecular protonics. Molecules such as decazapentacene (N10) exhibit multistability of oxidation state, and this is predicted to promote the redox catalytic properties of the compounds. The oxidation-state switching of on-surface processes is also described and has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. The longest known pyrazinacene chromophore (N14) exhibits amphiprotism with its state of protonation being strongly coupled to its fluorescence emission properties in the near-infrared region indicating possible uses in pH-coupled bioimaging applications. The synthesis of the pyrazinacenes is flexible and allows the preparation of symmetrically or unsymmetrically substituted derivatives for the development of more complex molecules and for control of the electronic structure of the acene unit. Overall, the pyrazinacenes represent an emerging class of highly nitrogenous heteroacenes with unique properties and excellent potential for development in different applications based on their special supramolecular properties including guest binding or interactions in biological systems.

Abstract
The synthesis of two diazabisacenes is reported. A bisboronated naphthalene was Suzuki‐coupled to substituted ethyl nicotinates, then cyclized by intramolecular Friedel‐Crafts acylation. The resulting diketones were alkynylated and reduced to give the title compounds, bis(TIPS‐ethynyl)‐substituted naphtha[1,8‐gh:5,4‐g′h′]diquinoline and naphtho[1,8‐bc:5,4‐b′c′]diacridine. Nitrogen incorporation stabilizes the bisacenes with respect to oxidation compared to their consanguine nonaza analogs.

Abstract
Anthrathiadiazole is a key synthon for the construction of large azaacenes, however, the attachment of different substituents onto the skeleton of anthrathiadiazole is difficult but highly desirable because it could be easy to enrich the structures of azaacenes. Here, it is demonstrated that anthrathiadiazole derivatives with -Br, -CN, and -OCH3 groups could be easily constructed through a simple [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between a,a,a',a'-tetrabromo-o-xylenes derivatives and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-dione. The structures of the as-prepared compounds with different substituents were carefully characterized. Moreover, the basic physical properties of the as-prepared anthrathiadiazole derivatives were fully investigated, where the cyano-substituted derivative (BTH-CN) has the highest stability and the methoxy-substituted derivative (BTH-OCH3 ) is easy to be oxidized. Moreover, the two-photon absorption (TPA) characteristics of different anthrathiadiazoles are also studied by using the femtosecond Z-scan technique. The results show that the fused anthrathiadiazole skeletons possess large TPA cross-section values δ2 in the range of 3000-5000 GM, where the nature, position and strength of the substituted groups have strong effect on these values.

Abstract
Acenes and azaacenes lie at the core of molecular materials' applications due to their important optical and electronic features. A critical aspect is provided by their heteroatom multiplicity, which can strongly affect their properties. Here we report pyrazinacenes containing the dihydro-decaazapentacene and dihydro-octaazatetracene chromophores and compare their properties/functions as a model case at an oxidizing metal substrate. We find a distinguished, oxidation-state-dependent conformational adaptation and self-assembly behaviour and discuss the analogies and differences of planar benzo-substituted decaazapentacene and octaazatetracene forms. Our broad experimental and theoretical study reveals that decaazapentacene is stable against oxidation but unstable against reduction, which is in contrast to pentacene, its C-H only analogue. Decaazapentacenes studied here combine a planar molecular backbone with conformationally flexible substituents. They provide a rich model case to understand the properties of a redox-switchable π-electronic system in solution and at interfaces. Pyrazinacenes represent an unusual class of redox-active chromophores.

Abstract
5,12-Dihydro-5,12-diazatetracene (DHDAT) dimers with different substitution patterns are synthesized: a symmetric one with a C-C bond between the monomer units (1) and two asymmetric ones with a C-N bond between the monomer units (2 and 3). The DHDAT units are planar in the C-C linked dimer 1 but perpendicularly oriented in the C-N linked dimers 2 and 3 (from X-ray analysis). The electronic ground-state interaction between the two units is large in 1 and small in 2 and 3. The emission behavior of 3 is different from that of other dimers and its monomer; it displays positive solvatochromism, characteristic for electron donor-acceptor molecules, despite its donor-donor type structure. Compound 3 exhibits a unique multi-step thermochromic emission behavior. The emission behavior is attributed to the asymmetric distribution of the HOMO and LUMO of DHDAT.

Abstract
Although diradicals and azaacenes have been greatly attractive in fundamental chemistry and functional materials, the isolable diradical dianions of azaacenes are still unknown. Herein, we describe the first isolation of pyrene-fused azaacene diradical dianion salts [(18-c-6)K(THF)2 ]+ [(18-c-6)K]+ ⋅12-.. and [(18-c-6)K(THF)]2+ ⋅22-.. by reduction of the neutral pyrene-fused azaacene derivatives 1 and 2 with excess potassium graphite in THF in the presence of 18-crown-6. Their electronic structures were investigated by various experiments, in conjunction with theoretical calculations. It was found that both dianions are open-shell singlets in the ground state and their triplet states are thermally readily accessible owing to the small singlet-triplet energy gap. This work provides the first examples of crystalline diradical dianions of azaacenes with considerable diradical character.

Abstract
Partial substitution of CH groups in the skeletons of linearly fused phenyl rings
provides an appreciable possibility to tailor their properties. Among them, azaacenes induced
from a partial substitution of oligoacenes by nitrogen are one of the most promising
derivatives with a view of their potential application in organic electronic devices as a
novel organic n-type semiconductor. Hence this review focuses on recent progress in the
synthesis of azaacenes and their applications beyond organic field-effect transistors
(OFETs) such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), phototransistors, photoelectrical
chemical cells, organic memory, solar cells, conductors and sensors.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of a new type of pyrazinopyrazine-fused azaacene molecules by a simple and versatile procedure. 6,9-Dihexyldithieno[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline-2,3-diamine was synthesized through the condensation between 2,7-dihexylbenzo[1,2-b:6,5-b']dithiophene-4,5-diamine and bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) oximidate. A series of derivatized molecules with extended two-dimensional aromatic fused-ring structures could be obtained by simple condensation reactions between the quinoxalinediamine intermediate and various diketones. The reaction was proved to be effective for the construction of tetrazaacene derivatives with extended heterocyclic aromatic ring systems. The molecules obtained exhibit low-lying LUMO levels that can be fine-tuned by modifying the molecular structure. Crystallographic results showed that in a solid state, the molecules form "brick wall" structures with a close π-π stacking mode. The stacking between the π-ring systems in the molecules could be further enhanced by expanding the large 2D planar-conjugated structure.

Abstract
A series of helical tetracenes and pentacenes was synthesized from cationic [6] and [4]helicene precursors. These colorful acenes fluoresce in the far red region. While [4]helicene-based pentacenes exhibit chiroptical properties mainly in the UV region, [6]helicene-derived tetracenes show enhanced ECD in the visible range, in addition to clear CPL responses. This difference is rationalized using first principles.

Abstract
We report a novel N-heteroheptacenequinone derivative (C6OAHCQ) as a large π-conjugated framework. C6OAHCQ shows good electron-accepting behaviour owing to eight electron-deficient imino-N atoms and two carbonyl moieties and excellent solubility in common organic solvents. When a potential between 0 and -2.20 V is applied, C6OAHCQ is able to accept four electrons, which is more than fullerene C60 (three electrons) could accept in this voltage range. Moreover, a solution of C6OAHCQ and nBu4NPF6 in CH2Cl2 exhibits a clearly reversible brown-to-green colour change, suggesting that C6OAHCQ has potential as an electrochromic material.

Abstract
N-Heteroacenes and N-heteroarenes are the heterocyclic congeners of the acenes and arenes, in which one or several perimeter C-H bonds have been substituted by pyridine-type nitrogen atoms. They are formally segments out of N-doped nanographenes. Position and number of the nitrogens vary greatly, making N-heteroacenes and N-heteroarenes define a vast class of N-nanographene segments; they display modular electronic and structural properties. The nitrogen atoms in the perimeter lead to finely tunable frontier molecular orbital positions and therefore improved electron affinity and higher oxidative stability but conversely also require and allow different synthetic approaches than those reported for the synthesis of their hydrocarbon and nanographene analogues. The chemistry of N-heteroarenes, despite being known for more than a century, has made significant progress in the last years and established these materials both as powerful n-channel semiconductors in thin film transistors and as useful emitters in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and in photovoltaic devices. The electronegative nitrogen atoms impart a deep LUMO into the azaacenes and azaarenes, improve electron injection, and enable powerful electron transport but also charge separation in bulk-heterojunction type organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. At the same time, azaacenes and azaarenes are fundamentally exciting materials that push the limits of structure and stability, constantly displaying novel topologies and structures as variations of a simple leitmotif; we expect a bright future for esthetically pleasing yet highly functional N-heterocyclic species. Firstly, we discuss novel structures and structural elements that have evolved during the last years in N-heteroacene and N-heteroarene chemistry and delineate their properties. An important aspect is the oligomerization or better multimerization of azaacene and azaarene units into novel and surprising topologies, in which multiple azaarenes or azaacenes are stitched together. Examples are tetrahedral assemblies of tetraazapentacenes but also cyclic tetramers of different types of azaacenes and linearly bent, S-shaped, formally dimeric species. An exciting aspect of the exploration of the structural manifold of azaacenes is their electronic interaction in such assemblies and their solid-state microstructure. A further aspect of this work is the increase in size of the azaacenes and concepts that allow stabilization of the larger congeners. The attachment of four benzo units to the azaacene core is a powerful concept that stabilizes tetraazaheptacenes and should also be useful to achieve persistent tetraazanonacenes. Secondly, we describe the success of N-heteroacenes and N-heteroarenes in organic electronic devices; specifically, the use of symmetrical halogenated tetraazapentacenes as superb n-channel transistor materials with air stable and persistent radical anions as charge carriers; we discuss the structural reason for their success. Use of azaacenes and azaarenes is not restricted to transistors, but they are also applied in bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices and in brightly emitting OLEDs. Azaacenes and azaarenes are attractive segments out of hetero-nanographenes and objects of study, starting from fundamental structural and topological questions, ranging to powerful applications in organic electronics. The general interest in azaacenes is witnessed by the constantly increasing number of groups who discover and work on these materials as novel functional and flexible species.

Abstract
A series of electron-accepting azaacene-type materials 1-4 with different kinds and degrees of intermolecular interactions were synthesized. Simple modification of the terminal substituents significantly modulated the photophysical and electrochemical properties. The degree of weak intermolecular interaction determined the emergence of a liquid crystalline (LC) phase for each compound. Dipole-dipole interaction, π-π interaction, and van der Waals interaction all contributed to stabilize the LC phase of 1 and 2. The introduction of strong hydrogen bonding interaction enabled the formation of a highly ordered LC phase in 4. Charge-transport properties of 1, 2, and 4 were also investigated.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, we report on the syntheses of novel angular fused azaacenes. For this purpose, the synthesis of the bis-diamine 2 (TABEF) could be shortened and optimized. The condensation reaction of 2 with different types of 1,2-diketones yielded new azaacene derivatives of types 10, 11 and 12. Analogously, 2 was cyclized with thionyl chloride to give the piazthiol derivative 13. The optical and electrochemical properties of all new compounds were investigated by UV/Vis absorption, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclovoltammetric measurements.

Abstract
By Means of Marcus electron transfer theory, the charge transport properties of tetraazapentacene (4N-PEN) derivatives were systematically explored. The reorganization energies were studied by both adiabatic potential-energy surfaces and normal mode analysis. The charge diffusion constants were evaluated from the random walk simulation. From the perspective of homology modeling, a selected 4N-PEN derivative without experimental crystal structure was built into three kinds of possible packing modes with reference to its relative analogues and then fully optimized. The calculated results show that the charge transport property for the same kind of systems strongly depends on the packing mode, and the π···stacking is more beneficial for electron transport of 4N-PEN derivatives. Meanwhile, the 4N-PEN derivatives have larger electron transfer integrals and lower energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals as well as smaller electron reorganization energies, which provides a three-in-one advantage for electron transport. Fascinatingly, the data obtained from the hopping and band models both suggest that the 4N-PEN derivatives have the intrinsic property of electron transport. Thus, the 4N-PEN derivatives have the potential for preparing n-type organic semiconductors.

Abstract
We report a new approach for the fabrication of hybrid titanium dioxide/carbon materials derived from a porous titanium coordination polymer composed of a catechol-substituted porphyrin and Ti4+. Titanium dioxide nanocrystals were formed distributed in a nitrogen-doped carboniferous matrix after the thermolysis of the coordination polymer. The identity of the titanium dioxide phase, i.e., anatase or rutile, could be controlled by varying the thermolysis temperature. Electrochemical performances of the composites were explored with results demonstrating that the hybrid materials are promising cathodic materials for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Abstract
The efficiency of perovskite optoelectronic devices is increased by a novel method; its suitability for perovskite solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and optical amplifiers is demonstrated. The method is based on the introduction of organic additives during the anti-solvent step in the perovskite thin-film deposition process. Additives passivate grain boundaries reducing non-radiative recombination. The method can be easily extended to other additives.

Abstract
1,2-Naphthoquiones and their derivatives constitute an important category of compounds of relevance in pharmaceutical and material chemistry. It is shown that 1,2-naphthoquinones generated by o-iodoxybenzoic acid-mediated oxidation of 2-naphthols can be subjected to a cascade of reactions, namely oxidation, Michael addition, reduction, acetylation, and cyclocondensation, in the same pot to afford diverse 4-arylthio-1,2-naphthoquinones 2, 4-arylthio-1,2-diacetoxynaphthalenes 3, and 5-arylthio-/5-aminobenzo[a]phenazines 4 in very good isolated yields. The multistep single-pot synthesis occurs smoothly in DMF at rt.

Abstract
The mono- and bis-reduction of 6,13-bis((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)quinoxalino[2,3-b]phenazine (1) with potassium anthracenide in THF is reported. Both the radical anion 1(.-) and the dianion 1(2-) were isolated and characterized by optical and structural (single-crystal X-ray diffraction) methods. Solutions of the radical anion 1(.-) were stable in air for several hours and characterized by EPR spectroscopy. Dianion 1(2-) is highly fluorescent and photostable.

Abstract
Replacing the CH groups in the backbones of acenes with heteroatoms offers scientists greater opportunities to tune their properties, as the type, position, number, and the valence of the introduced heteroatoms have strong effects on the frontier orbital energy levels. When the heteroatoms are nitrogen atoms, all of the resulting materials are called azaacenes. Recently, the synthesis, structure, physical properties, and applications of azaacene derivatives have been intensively investigated. This review focuses on recent synthetic efforts (since 2013) toward making novel azaacenes as well as their potential applications beyond field-effect transistors (FETs) including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), memory devices, phototransistors, solar cells, photoelectrical chemical cells, sensors, and conductors.
