title: Quinoxaline-embedded polyacenoquinone esters: synthesis, electronic properties, and crystal structure.
abstract: The development of an expedient synthesis toward quinoxaline ring-embedded polyacenoquinone esters with the generic structure A is demonstrated by the synthesis of penta- and hexacenoquinone esters. They are potential n-type small molecules, capable of undergoing successive reductions and self-assembling in face-to-face π-stacks.
