TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of "bistetracene", an unconventional, linearly extended conjugated core with eight fused rings, provides valuable insight into the design of unconventional semiconductor compounds based on higher PAHs for use in high-performance devices.

TL;DR: This work establishes an original relationship between chemical structure and nonlocal vibrational coupling in the description of charge transport in organic semiconductor crystals as a function of molecular size from naphthalene through pentacene.

TL;DR: The corresponding dications 1(2+)-4(2+) show a complementary trend in the coupling between redox centers: the shortest species is diamagnetic, while the dication with the longest bridge behaves as two essentially noninteracting radical centers.

TL;DR: Extension of the phenyl-based π-conjugated system via meta linkages is found to be effective in modulating the electron affinity value while maintaining a high triplet energy.

TL;DR: A complex featuring two triarylamine redox centers bridged by Pt, trans-bis(triethylphosphine)-bis{4-[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]phenylethynyl} platinum(II), has been synthesized as a model system for pi-conjugated Pt-containing polymers and analysis of the intervalence charge-transfer band affords a quantitative assessment of electronic delocalization through the Pt bridge.
