Although understanding the conformations and arrangements of conjugated materials as solids is key to their prospective applications, predictive power over these structural factors remains elusive. In
We present a novel family of “potentially antiaromatic” alkyl-substituted p-benzoquinonediimine pH-dependent chromophores. It appears from the structural data that these overall 12π-electron molecules
Five rigid oxadiazole (OXD) containing silanes, denoted 1–5, have been developed with high morphological stability. Disruption of the π-aromatic conjugation by introduction of Si atoms leads to a larg
