Partial substitution of CH groups in the skeletons of linearly fused phenyl rings provides an appreciable possibility to tailor their properties. Among them, azaacenes induced from a partial substitution of oligoacenes by nitrogen are one of the most promising derivatives with a view of their potential application in organic electronic devices as a novel organic n-type semiconductor. Hence this review focuses on recent progress in the synthesis of azaacenes and their applications beyond organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), phototransistors, photoelectrical chemical cells, organic memory, solar cells, conductors and sensors.

Donor–acceptor–donor (DAD) triad systems are commonly applied as active materials in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, and NIR-emitting organic light-emitting diodes. Often, these triads utilize oligothiophenes as donors, whereas their oxygen-containing analogs, oligofurans, are far less studied in this setup. Here we introduce a family of DAD triads in which the donors are oligofurans and the acceptor is benzothiadiazole. In a combined computational and experimental study, we show that these triads display optical bandgaps similar to those of their thiophene analogs, and that a bifuran donor is sufficient to produce emission in the NIR spectral region. The presence of a central acceptor unit increases the photostability of oligofuran-based DAD systems compared with parent oligofurans of the similar length.

This review presents the main class of organophosphorus compounds (triaryl phosphines, phosphazenes, phospholes, phosphetes and diphosphacyclobutanes), which have been used in electronic devices (organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic cells (OPV cells), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), and electrochromic cells).

A donor-acceptor organic molecule based on fluorene unit as an electron donor and aldehyde group as an electron acceptor has been demonstrated in high yields over four steps. This approach offers a much milder and more efficient route to synthesize the target compound via the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. Optical spectra show that the electron-accepting groups induce an intermolecular charge transfer, resulting in a shift of the absorbance maximum toward longer wavelength. Such D-A type intermediate compounds as organic molecules display a significantly improved property profile in photoelectrical materials for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).

The emission properties of three 4-azafluorenone and five new α-carboline fluorophores in both solution and thin solid films were investigated. Fluorescence of the azafluorenone is clearly enhanced in thin solid films due to the presence of phenyl/biphenyl rotors, and these derivatives can be classified as green Aggregation-Induced Emission luminogens (AIEgens) with a non-emissive heteroaromatic core structure. Compared to azafluorenones, emission of α-carbolines is hypsochromically shifted to the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and most of these derivatives exhibit strong violet-blue fluorescence in both solution and thin solid film layers. Further, the effective mobility and electroluminescence of new α-carbolines were investigated in prepared organic field-effect transistors and organic light-emitting diodes, respectively.
