Control over the orientation of polycyclic aromatic dyes in thin films is paramount to tailoring their optical, electronic, and mechanical properties. Their supramolecular assembly in films is tuned here by converting the macrocyclic dyes to large amphiphiles. Two octaalkythio-substituted tetraazaporphyrins (TAPs) with one 5-carboxypentyl and one pentyl o ...

Heteroatom-doped p-conjugated systems have been exploited for electronic device applications. Phosphole-containing backbones are particularly intriguing with regard to electron delocalization and ultimately control over the photophysical, redox, and charge transfer characteristics. However, practical application of these materials commonly relies on well- ...
