title: Linear fused dithieno[2,3-b:3'2'-d]thiophene diimides.
abstract: Linear fused dithieno[2,3-b:3'2'-d]thiophene diimides (DTTDIs, 1-4) were synthesized. Physicochemical investigations suggested that these diimides might be used as potential n-channel organic semiconductors. Single-crystal analysis of N-propyl DTTDI (1) revealed that molecules adopt a layered herringbone packing motif.
