Nano-films of carbo-benzene derivatives: Scanning probe microscopy analysis and prospects of use in organic solar cells

Strong absorber vs. strong emitter in extended π-conjugated systems: a carbo-benzene – benzothiadiazole chromophore

“…16 Beyond TPA and SMC, the π-electron rich system of 2 might also serve in the design of self-assembled hole transport monolayer (HTL) for organic solar cells, after self-assembled monolayers of carbo -benzenes were reported to be promising for organic photovolatics. 17 Such prospects thus completed the basic concern of molecular aesthetics as motivations to target the carbo -benzene-BTD conjugate 2 .…”

Exploring the enhancement of the thermoelectric properties of bilayer graphyne nanoribbons

“…18,23,24 Recent experimental investigations have reported that graphdiyne nanoribbons and bilayer graphene nanoribbons have been synthesized through bottom-up fabrication. 25,26 Also, other experiments have focused on the synthesis of carbo-benzenes, [27][28][29] which are known as a-Gy molecular fragments, giving support to the future synthesis of a-Gy nanostructures.…”
