Abstract The core expansion of naphthalene diimides (NDIs) is an effective strategy to modulate frontier molecular orbital energy levels and improve device performances. Herein two new rhodanine-bridged and core-extended NDIs T1 and T2 were designed and synthesized. The rhodanine moiety could act no...
