TL;DR: Electron-deficient corannulene derivatives incorporating cyano and imide groups into the corannalene core were synthesized, which showed low LUMO levels and dense convex-concave packing structures in single crystals, which help to realize the first n-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) in air based on corannULene derivatives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corannulene unit was incorporated directly into the backbone of conjugated polymers and a new donor-acceptor copolymer PICBT using imide-fused corannula as acceptor was synthesized and its performance in organic field effect transistors (OFETs) was tested.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that a kinetically stable inhomogeneous hydrogel matrix is spontaneously formed upon the local injection of ATP, which allows for a progressive local accumulation of self-assembled nanoreactors in the matrix upon repetitive cycles of ATP injection separated by time intervals during which diffusion of unassembled amphiphiles takes place.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview for using corannulene derivatives in organic electronics such as organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells (OSCs), and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
