Development of materials with interesting optical and electronic properties has been the scope of many researchers for the last two decades. Such materials are crucial for a wide range of organic electronic applications such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and field-effect transistors. In this talk, we will report on the synthetic strategy to design and synthesize a series of new molecules with an hexaazatrinaphthylene, HATNA, core. Furthermore, we will discuss their optical and transport properties.
