TLDR
The unusual solid-state nonplanarity seen in the X-ray structures of the [N]phenylenes (an example is shown here) is most likely the result of crystal-packing-induced deformations as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The unusual solid-state nonplanarity seen in the X-ray structures of the [N]phenylenes (an example is shown here) is shown to be most likely the result of crystal-packing-induced deformations. These conclusions are based on a study of published and eight new structure determinations, comparison with data on napththalenes and anthracenes obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database, and ab initio calculations.

The larger acenes: versatile organic semiconductors.

TL;DR: New approaches to add functionality were developed to improve the processability of these materials in solution, allowing the synthesis of acenes larger than pentacene, which have hitherto been largely unavailable and poorly studied.

Organic semiconductors: A theoretical characterization of the basic parameters governing charge transport

TL;DR: It is shown that the amplitude of the transfer integrals is extremely sensitive to the molecular packing, and specific arrangements can lead to electron mobilities that are larger than hole mobilities, which is, for instance, the case of perylene.
