Abstract
An overview is given of the functionalization of linearly fused aromatic systems specifically for their application in electronic devices, with special focus on reports describing crystal structure/device property relationships in linearly fused acenes and heteroacenes. Emphasis is on functionalized anthracenes, tetracene, pentacene and higher heteroacenes. Across a wide variety of derivatives, it is shown that materials with extensive face-to-face interactions generally exhibit hole mobilities superior to those systems with strictly edge-to-face interactions.
