Abstract

We present here the results of studies of the synthesis and properties of donors and acceptors based on triangular dehydrobenzo [12] annulene ([12] DBA) system as a π core. These studies were aimed at controlling the supramolecular crystal structure. Toward this end, the tricyano [12] DBA 2 and dodecafluoro [12] DBA (3) were synthesized as acceptors (A) and the tris (dialkylamino)[12] DBAs 4a− d as donors (D), and their electronic ...
