Materials scientists are currently shifting from purely inorganic, organic and silicon-based
materials towards hybrid organic–inorganic materials to develop increasingly complex and …

Over the past three decades, the field of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) has developed rapidly due to the potential applications of these …

This critical review discusses specific chemical and physicochemical requirements which
must be met for organic compounds to be considered as promising materials for applications …

The potentialities offered by EDOT as a building block for the synthesis of functional π-
conjugated systems are reviewed. The first part underlines the specific advantages of the …

Besides a traditional use for the development of organic conducting materials, the
tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) unit and its derivatives have recently appeared as key constituents …

Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) has been extensively explored as a π-electron donor in
supramolecular systems. Over the last two decades substantial advances have been made …

Electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) systems have been studied extensively. Among them,
fused D–A systems have attracted much attention during the past decades. Herein, we will …

We consider the roles of heteroatoms (mainly nitrogen, the halogens and the chalcogens) in
dictating the conformation of linear conjugated molecules and polymers through non …

After the epochal discovery of the “organic metal”, namely, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)–7, 7, 8, 8-
tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) dyad in 1973, scientists have made efforts to …

Fully conjugated giant macrocyclic oligothiophenes with 60π, 90π, 120π, 150π, and 180π
frames (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) have been designed, and their butyl-substituted derivatives (1a, 2a …
