Organic semiconductors are key components of numerous electronic and optoelectronic devices for a wide range of applications such as light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells and organic thin-film transistors (TFTs). Thus the search for new organic materials which serve this purpose is of considerable current interest. Several years ago, we developed an efficient metal-induced synthesis of 4,9-diamino-3,10-perylenequinone diimine (DPDI) by oxidative coupling of two 1,8-diaminonaphthalene units.[1] This functionalized perylene may be converted to tetraazaperopyrene (TAPP)[2] as well as a range of derivatives[3] which have proved to possess considerable potential as organic n-channel semiconductors.[4]

We recently considerably expanded the chemical space towards more nitrogen-rich polycyclic compounds.[5a] Many of these are high quantum yield emitters, in solution, in polymer matrices and in the solid state.[5b] Some have displayed interesting potential for applications in molecular polaritonics.[5c]

Finally, heteropolycycles have proved to display an interesting surface chemistry when deposited on well defined faces of coinage metal single crystals.[6] The formation of stable porous surface networks (and their exciting physical properties),[7] provide highly ordered nanoscale grids and have been investigated in a series of studies.[8]
