Abstract

Oligo-and polythiophenes are organic semiconductors that have important applications in organic electronics.[1] Various molecular shapes and dimensions, such as 1D linear,[2] 2D macrocyclic,[3] disk, and starlike,[4] as well as 3D dendritic,[5] have been developed. In particular, α-conjugated macrocyclic oligothiophenes have shown intriguing electronic [6] and selfassembling properties [7] as a result of their circular structure which makes them ...
