| Solid-state structure of organic molecules is an important topic in the field of organic semiconductors. In this context, face-to-face stacking of such semiconductor molecules in the solid-state is desired to achieve optimum p-orbital overlap. In this presentation we will describe a general method of enforcing the face-to-face stacking of the semiconductor building blocks (SBBs), based on oligothiophenes and oligoacenes, which have emerged as the leading candidates in the field. The method described is based co-crystallization of SBBs with a secondary molecule, termed semiconductor co-crystal former (SCCF). The SCCF, based on a ditopic hydrogen bond donor, such as resorcinol, serves to enforce a face-to-face orientation of the molecules within the solid state. Analysis of thiophene and acene based materials will be presented with an emphasis on structural details.
