ABSTRACT
In comparison to low-molar-mass compounds or polymers, dendritic organic materials constitute a superior class of organic semiconductors because of their distinctive physical properties relevant to application in organic electronics. Taking account on two important classes of functional dendritic cores, that is, pyrene (electron-rich) or triazine (electrondeficient) moieties, this review article concisely discusses the impact of peripheral chromophore-substitutions on their charge-transport, photophysical, electrochemical and thermal properties, and device performance.
