Scientists are constantly exploring new ways to design novel functional materials with tunable electronic properties. One promising area of research on this front is the use of π-electronic systems (systems in which the electrons occupy the p-orbitals of the atoms) to create stacked assemblies that, in turn, can be used to develop novel organic semiconductors.
