Abstract

Semiconductors form the foundational bedrock of modern electronics and numerous cutting-edge technologies. Particularly, semiconductors crafted from organic building blocks hold immense promise as next-generation pioneers, thanks to their vast array of chemical structures, customizable frontier orbital energy levels and bandgap structures, and easily adjustable π electronic properties. Over the past 50 years, advancements in chemistry and materials science have facilitated extensive investigations into small organic π compounds, oligomers, and polymers, resulting in a rich library of organic semiconductors. However, a longstanding challenge persists: how to organize π building units or chains into well-defined…
