2,3,9,10-Substituted pentacene tetraesters and pentacene diester-dinitriles were synthesized. These pentacene derivatives underwent an unusual solid state [4 + 4] thermal dimerization with good efficiency and complete stereoselectivity. This observation indicates this series of pentacene derivatives adopt π-π stacking geometry with large mutual overlap in solid state. This notion was confirmed by molecualr dynamic simulation.

Herein we report a convenient access to asymmetrically substituted, well soluble pentacene derivatives synthesized from commercially available 5,7,12,14-pentacenetetrone via reductive one step functionalization. Zinc or potassium are used as reducing agents and the reduced intermediates are trapped with electrophiles such as acetyl, triisopropylsilyl or cationic methyl synthons. The reduction allows for an unsymmetric functionalization whilst one dione moiety is maintained due to partial reduction.

Article Synopsis
- Singlet fission (SF) is a process that turns one singlet exciton into two triplet excitons, which can enhance energy transfer in materials.
- The study explored SF dynamics in specific linear heterotrimer systems made from different pentacene derivatives to understand how substituents affect exciton behavior.
- The findings suggest that appropriate substituent choices can significantly increase the efficiency of triplet exciton migration due to quantum interference effects that emerge from reduced structural symmetry.

Here, two alkylated dibenzo[,]anthracene (DBA) derivatives with linear -dodecyl (C12-DBA-C12) and ring-containing pentyl-cyclohexyl (Cy5-DBA-Cy5) moieties were successfully synthesized. Their chemical and thermal stability were both notably high, with the molecular arrangement of C12-DBA-C12 and Cy5-DBA-Cy5 being greatly influenced by the alkyl groups. C12-DBA-C12 formed a 2D lamellar herringbone packing structure and its blade-coated film exhibited high layered crystallinity and high carrier mobility up to 2.

We investigate theoretically the influence of strong light-matter coupling on the initial steps of the phototriggered singlet-fission process. In particular we focus on intramolecular singlet fission in a TIPS-pentacene dimer derivative described by a vibronic Hamiltonian including the optically active singlet excited states, doubly excited and charge transfer states, as well as the final triplet-triplet pair state. Quantum dynamics simulations of up to four dimers in the cavity indicate that the modified resonance condition imposed by the cavity strongly quenches the passage through the intermediate charge transfer and double-excitation states, thus largely reducing the triplet-triplet yield in the bare system.

-acenes are valuable models for zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons, but their synthesis poses significant challenges. In this study, stable derivatives of -pentacene () and -hexacene () were synthesized. Through kinetic blocking and a synergistic captodative effect, both compounds displayed remarkable stability under ambient air and light conditions.
