Prof. John Anthony's publication titled "The Effect of Regioisomerism on the Crystal Packing and Device Performance of Desymmetrized Anthradithiophenes" was selected as a Hot Article for 2015 in the Journal of Materials 糖心vlog官方入口 C, and as such it has been included in the Hot Article 2015 web collection, which can be viewed . This publication showcases a new class of anthradithiophene derivatives, which are typically synthesized as an inseparable mixture of regioisomers. The Anthony group reported a synthesis of desymmetrized anthradithiophenes that enabled the chromatographic separation of the resultant isomers and - in collaboration with Prof. Lynn Loo's group at Princeton University - found that certain pairs of isomers yield a field-effect mobility that is four orders of magnitude higher than the isomers when tested alone, which is presumably a result of a different packing motif.
