Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating organized 2D nanostructures of organic molecules to improve organic thin-film electronic devices.* -
  • Researchers successfully created a nearly perfect self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 6,13-dichloropentacene on a gold surface, which is highly ordered and extends over large areas.* -
  • The formation of this DCP SAM is explained through intermolecular interactions and molecular interactions with the underlying material, supported by scanning tunneling microscopy and computational analysis.*

A significant technical barrier (i.e., facile oxidative degradation) that has prevented the preparation of large acenes has now been breached.

Substituent effects have been exploited to produce an unusually persistent heptacene derivative. In total, four new heptacene derivatives with varying levels of photooxidative resistance (1 < 2 < 3 < 4) have been synthesized. A combination of p-(t-butyl)thiophenyl substituents at positions 7 and 16 (i.

A combined experimental and computational study of a series of substituted pentacenes including halogenated, phenylated, silylethynylated and thiolated derivatives is presented. Experimental studies include the synthesis and characterization of six new and six known pentacene derivatives and a kinetic study of each derivative under identical photooxidative conditions. Structures, HOMO-LUMO energies and associated gaps were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311+G**//PM3 level while optical and electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gaps were measured experimentally.
