AI Article Synopsis

  • Pentacene-based molecules show great potential in molecular electronics due to their impressive performance.
  • Researchers are focusing on creating larger acenes (beyond tetracene) that are both stable and soluble to enhance their semiconducting properties.
  • This has led to the development of new synthetic techniques and strategies to functionalize these larger acenes for improved material applications.

Article Abstract

The outstanding performance of pentacene-based molecules in molecular electronics, as well as the predicted enhanced semiconducting properties of extended acenes, have stimulated the development of new synthetic methods and functionalization strategies for the preparation of stable and soluble acenes larger than tetracene with the aim of obtaining improved functional materials.
