Summary:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a typical class of organic semiconductors demonstrate unique optical, electrical, magnetic and other interesting properties due to their extended conjugation and diverse structures. Ring-closing reactions are very significant for the synthesis of PAHs with various structures and optoelectronic properties, which endow them great potential for applications in organic electronics. The aim of this article is to present a concise summary on the recent advances on the ring-closing reactions for the synthesis of organic semiconductors, with a discussion on their applicable conditions, followed by their attractive applications in organic field-effect transistors (especially chiral transistors and biradicaloid-based transistors), organic solar cells, etc. Finally, a short conclusion and perspective are given on the further development of new ring-closing reactions toward novel PAH materials with promising applications. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a typical class of organic semiconductors demonstrate unique optical, electrical, magnetic and other interesting properties due to their extended conjugation and diverse structures.
Bibliography:Qingbin Li grew up in Gansu Province, China. He got his Bachelor's Degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2019. Since 2019, he has been undertaking successive postgraduate and doctoral programs of study to obtain his PhD at the Key Laboratory of Organic Solids, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, under the supervision of Prof. Huanli Dong. His research work focuses on the design and synthesis of organic optoelectronic functional materials based on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon systems.
Dedicated to Prof. Daoben Zhu on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
Huanli Dong is a Professor of the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
