Abstract
Flexible electronics have received considerable attention in the past decades due to their promising application in rollable display screens, wearable devices, implantable devices, and other electronic applications. In particular, conjugated polymers are favored for flexible electronics due to their mechanical flexibility and potential for solution-processed fabrication techniques, such as blade-coating, roll-to-roll printing, and high-throughput printing allowing for high-performance transistor devices. Thiophene is the prevailing conjugated unit to construct these conjugated polymers due to its favorable electronic properties. On the other hand, furans are among the few conjugated moieties that are easily derived from bio renewable resources. To promote sustainability, we selectively introduced furan into the conjugated backbone of a high-mobility polymer scaffold and systematically studied the effect on the microstructure and charge transport. We show that partially and selectively replacing thiophene units with furan can yield nearly comparable performance compared to the all-thiophene polymer. This strategy offers an improvement in the sustainability of the polymer by incorporating bio-sourced furan without sacrificing the high-performance characteristics. Meanwhile, polymers with incorrect or complete furan incorporation show reduced mobilities. This work serves to develop coherent structure-morphology-performance relationships; such knowledge will establish guidelines for the future development of sustainable, furan-based conjugated materials.

Abstract
The convergent one-pot method toward trisubstituted furans has been developed. The key transformation behind the synthetic protocol comprises the cascade acid-catalyzed conjugated addition of furans to commercially available or easily accessible α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by the rearrangement of the intermediate Michael adducts into isomeric furans. The prospect of utilizing the target products as building blocks for the preparation of potential functional molecules for organic electronics has been demonstrated.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art bulk-heterojunction (BHJ)-type organic solar cells (OSCs) have exhibited power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of exceeding 18%. Thereinto, thiophene and its fused-ring derivatives play significant roles in facilitating the development of OSCs due to their excellent semiconducting natures. Furan as thiophene analogue, is a ubiquitous motif in naturally occurring organic compounds. Driven by the advantages of furan, such as less steric hindrance, good solubility, excellent stacking, strong rigidity and fluorescence, biomass derived fractions, more and more research groups focus on the furan-based materials for using in OSCs in the past decade. To systematically understand the developments of furan-based photovoltaic materials, the relationships between the molecular structures, optoelectronic properties, and photovoltaic performances for the furan-based semiconductor materials including single furan, benzofuran, benzodifuran (BDF) (containing thienobenzofuran (TBF)), naphthodifurans (NDF), and polycyclic furan are summarized. Finally, the empirical regularities and perspectives of the development of this kind of new organic semiconductor materials are extracted.

A novel copper-catalyzed cyclization of readily available vinyl azides with CF3-ynones is steadily achieved under mild conditions to furnish the versatile 2,4-diaryl-6-trifluoromethylated pyridine products, which are of great interest in medicinal chemistry. The generation of the vinyl iminophosphorane intermediates from vinyl azides through the Staudinger-Meyer reaction ensures the subsequent 1,4-addition process with CF3-ynones in this transformation.

Abstract
The first successful example of deacylative annulation of 1,3-diones with sulfoxonium ylides was achieved through Ru(ii)-catalyzed C-C bond activation. The excellent chemoselectivity and broad substrate scope render this method a practical and versatile approach for the preparation of (hetero)aryl and alkenyl substituted furans, which are valuable units in many biologically active compounds and functional materials. A preliminary mechanistic study reveals that this process involves a deacylative α-ruthenation to generate key alkyl Ru(ii) intermediates with the release of a benzoic acid fragment.

Abstract
Two new aromatic pyrimidine-based derivatives designed specifically for halogen bond directed self-assembly are investigated through a combination of high-resolution Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and computational quantum chemistry. The vibrational frequencies of these new molecular building blocks, pyrimidine capped with furan (PrmF) and thiophene (PrmT), are compared to those previously assigned for pyrimidine (Prm). The modifications affect only a select few of the normal modes of Prm, most noticeably its signature ring breathing mode, ν1. Structural analyses afforded by X-ray crystallography, and computed interaction energies from density functional theory computations indicate that, although weak hydrogen bonding (C–H···O or C–H···N interactions) is present in these pyrimidine-based solid-state co-crystals, halogen bonding and π-stacking interactions play more dominant roles in driving their molecular-assembly.

Abstract
A series of linear benzofuran derivatives consisting of either a vinylene or a cyanovinylene were prepared in order to investigate their emission properties. The X-ray crystallography of structurally similar derivatives was also evaluated. The crystalline structures of the vinylene derivatives showed only lateral contacts that involved the benzofurans and no π-stacking. In contrast, π-stacking was observed for the bisbenzofuran and benzofuran-phenyl cyanovinylene derivatives. No intermolecular π-π stacking was observed for the extended cyanovinylene structures. Intermolecular bonding between the nitrile and a furan atom was found. The fluorescence quantum yields (Φfl) of the vinylene derivatives were consistently high (>50%) in both solution and the crystal state. The exception was the benzofuran-furan-vinylene-phenyl, the Φfl of which was <10% when in the solid state. The cyanovinylene counterparts emitted weakly in solution (Φfl < 2%). Their luminogenic property was demonstrated with a ca. 15-fold increase in emission in the solid state. A 6-fold emission enhancement was also found when they were aggregated in a 90 vol% methanol/water mixture. The solid-state emission enhancement of the cyanovinylene benzofurans was in part attributable to intermolecular contacts that suppressed excited-state deactivation by molecular motion.

Abstract
![]()
A furan-based synthetic
biopolymer composed of a bifuran monomer
and ethylene glycol was synthesized through melt polycondensation,
and the resulting polyester was found to have promising thermal and
mechanical properties. The bifuran monomer, dimethyl 2,2′-bifuran-5,5′-dicarboxylate,
was prepared using a palladium-catalyzed, phosphine ligand-free direct
coupling protocol. A titanium-catalyzed polycondensation procedure
was found effective at polymerizing the bifuran monomer with ethylene
glycol. The prepared bifuran polyester exhibited several intriguing
properties including high tensile modulus. In addition, the bifuran
monomer furnished the polyester with a relatively high glass transition
temperature. Films prepared from the new polyester also had excellent
oxygen and water barrier properties, which were found to be superior
to those of poly(ethylene terephthalate). Moreover, the novel polyester
also has good ultraviolet radiation blocking properties.

Abstract
A structure-property study across a series of donor-acceptor-donor structures composed of mono- and bi-(1,3,4-oxadiazole) units symmetrically substituted with alkyl functionalized bi-, ter- and quaterthiophene segments is presented. Synthetically tailoring the ratio of electron-withdrawing 1,3,4-oxadiazole to electron-releasing thiophene units and their alkyl grafting pattern permitted us to scrutinize the impact of these structural factors on the redox, absorptive and emissive properties of these push-pull molecules. Contrasting trends of redox potentials were observed, with the oxidation potential closely following the donor-to-acceptor ratio, whereas the reduction potential being tuned independently by either the number of acceptor units or the conjugation length of the donor-acceptor system. Increasing the thiophene unit contribution delivered a shift from blue to green luminescence, while the structural rigidity afforded by intramolecular non-covalent interactions between 1,3,4-oxadiazole and the thiophene moieties has been identified as the prime factor determining the emission efficiency of these molecules. All six structures investigated electro-polymerize easily, yielding electroactive and electrochromic polymers. The polymer doping process is largely influenced by the length of the oligothiophene repeating unit and the alkyl chain grafting density. Polymers with relatively short oligothiophene segments are able to support polarons and polaron-pairs, whereas those with segments longer than six thiophene units could also stabilize diamagnetic charge carries - bipolarons. Increasing the alkyl chain grafting density improved the reversibility and broadened the working potential window of the p-doping process. Stable radical anions have also been investigated, bringing detailed information about the conjugation pattern of these electron-surplus species. This study delivers interesting clues towards the conscious structural design of bespoke frontier energy level oligothiophene functional materials and their polymers by incorporating a structurally matching 1,3,4-oxadiazole unit.

Abstract
Developing semiconducting polymers that exhibit both strong charge transport capability via highly ordered structures and good processability in environmentally benign solvents remains a challenge. Given that furan-based materials have better solubility in various solvents than analogous thiophene-based materials, we have synthesized and characterized furanyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole polymer (PFDPPTT-Si) together with its thienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole-based analogue (PTDPPTT-Si) to understand subtle changes induced by the use of furan instead of thiophene units. PTDPPTT-Si films processed in common chlorinated solvent exhibit a higher hole mobility (3.57 cm2 V-1 s-1) than PFDPPTT-Si films (2.40 cm2 V-1 s-1) under the same conditions; this greater hole mobility is a result of tightly aggregated π-stacking structures in PTDPPTT-Si. By contrast, because of its enhanced solubility, PFDPPTT-Si using chlorine-free solution processing results in a device with higher mobility (as high as 1.87 cm2 V-1 s-1) compared to that of the corresponding device fabricated using PTDPPTT-Si. This mobility of 1.87 cm2 V-1 s-1 represents the highest performances among furan-containing polymers reported to the best of our knowledge for nonchlorinated solvents. Our study demonstrates an important step toward environmentally compatible electronics, and we expect the results of our study to reinvigorate the furan-containing semiconductors field.

Abstract
The performance of molecular materials in optoelectronic devices critically depends upon their electronic properties and solid-state structure. In this report, we have synthesized sulfur and selenium based (T4BT and T4BSe) donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) organic derivatives in order to understand the structure-property correlation in organic semiconductors by selectively tuning the chalcogen atom. The photophysical properties exhibit a significant alteration upon varying a single atom in the molecular structure. A joint theoretical and experimental investigation suggests that replacing sulfur with selenium significantly reduces the band gap and molar absorption coefficient because of lower electronegativity and ionization potential of selenium. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed differences in their solid-state packing and intermolecular interactions. Subsequently, difference in the solid-state packing results variation in self-assembly. Micorstructural changes within these materials are correlated to their electrical resistance variation, investigated by conducting probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM) measurements. These results provide useful guidelines to understand the fundamental properties of D-A-D materials prepared by atomistic modulation.

Abstract
Polyfuran films produced by electropolymerization of a series of oligofurans substituted with alkyl groups show improved properties, such as good conductivity and stability, well-defined spectroelectrochemistry and smooth morphology.
Polyfurans have never been established as useful conjugated polymers, as previously they were considered to be inherently unstable and poorly conductive. Here, we show the preparation of stable and conducting polyfuran films by electropolymerization of a series of oligofurans of different chain lengths substituted with alkyl groups. The polyfuran films show good conductivity in the order of 1 S cm–1, good environmental and electrochemical stabilities, very smooth morphologies (roughness 1–5 nm), long effective conjugation lengths, well-defined spectroelectrochemistry and electro-optical switching (in the Vis-NIR region), and have optical band-gaps in the range of 2.2–2.3 eV. A low oxidation potential needed for polymerization of oligofurans (compared to furan) is a key factor in achievement of improved properties of polyfurans reported in this work. DFT calculations and experiments show that polyfurans are much more rigid than polythiophenes, and alkyl substitution does not disturb backbone planarity and conjugation. The obtained properties of polyfuran films are similar or superior to the properties of electrochemically prepared poly(oligothiophene)s under similar conditions.

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Since the first description of coordination complexes, many types of metal-ligand interactions have creatively been used in the chemical sciences. The rich coordination chemistry of pyridine-type ligands has contributed significantly to the incorporation of diverse metal ions into functional materials. Here we discuss molecular assemblies (MAs) formed with a variety of pyridine-type compounds and a metal containing cross-linker (e.g., PdCl2(PhCN2)). These MAs are formed using Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition from solution that allows for precise fitting of the assembly properties through molecular programming. The position of each component can be controlled by altering the assembly sequence, while the degree of intermolecular interactions can be varied by the level of π-conjugation and the availability of metal coordination sites. By setting the structural parameters (e.g., bond angles, number of coordination sites, geometry) of the ligand, control over MA structure was achieved, resulting in surface-confined metal-organic networks and oligomers. Unlike MAs that are constructed with organic ligands, MAs with polypyridyl complexes of ruthenium, osmium, and cobalt are active participants in their own formation and amplify the growth of the incoming molecular layer. Such a self-propagating behavior for molecular systems is rare, and the mechanism of their formation will be discussed. These exponentially growing MAs are capable of storing metal salts that can be used during the buildup of additional molecular layers. Various parameters influencing the film growth mechanism will be presented, including (i) the number of binding sites and geometry of the organic ligands, (ii) the metal and the structure of the polypyridyl complexes, (iii) the influence of the metal cross-linker (e.g., second or third row transition metals), and (iv) the deposition conditions. By systematic variation of these parameters, switching between linear and exponential growth could be demonstrated for MAs containing structurally well-defined polypyridyl complexes. The porosity of the MAs has been estimated by using electrochemically active probes. Incorporating multiple polypyridyl complexes of osmium and ruthenium into a single assembly give rise to composite materials that exhibit interesting electrochemical and electrochromic properties. These functional composites are especially attractive as they exhibit properties that neither of each metal complex possesses individually. Some of our MAs have very high coloration efficiencies, redox stability, fast responsive times and operate at voltages < 1.5 V. Moreover, their electrochemical properties are dependent on the deposition sequence of the polypyridyl complexes, resulting in MAs that possesses distinctive electron transfer pathways. Finally, some of these MAs are described in terms of their practical applications in electrochromic materials, storage-release chemistry, solar cells, and electron transport properties.

Abstract
Well-defined monodisperse conjugated oligomers, which have planar backbones and are free from the disturbance of substituents, attract broad interest. Herein, we report a series of symmetrical, isomerically pure oligofurans, namely, the 16-mer 16F-6C6 together with the related nF-2C6 (n = 4, 6, 8). Through computational studies and detailed spectroscopic and X-ray characterization, for the first time, we show that the planarity of the furan backbone is almost unaffected by the head-to-head defect which is known to cause considerable twists in its oligo- or polythiophene analogues. We present that the properties of these rigid oligo(alkylfuran)s are strongly influenced by the conjugation length. As the longest monodisperse α-oligofuran synthesized to date, 16F-6C6 was observed to be stable and highly fluorescent. Experimental and computational studies of the redox states of these oligo(alkylfuran)s reveal that 16F-6C6 has singlet biradical (polaron-pair) character in the doubly oxidized ground state: the open-shell singlet (⟨S2⟩ = 0.989) is 3.8 kcal/mol more stable than the closed-shell dication.
