A new
straightforward synthetic strategy has been elaborated to
achieve star-shaped triazatrinaphthylene and, for the first time,
triazatrianthrylene derivatives. Their solution- and solid-state properties
were thoroughly characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV–vis
absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and density functional
theory calculations. Original hexagonal molecular arrangements were
found in the crystal phase, which opens a new pathway for designing
materials with improved three-dimensional charge-transport properties.
