11,12-Dihydroindolo[2,3-a]carbazole(CAT: L020272) is a polycyclic aromatic compound composed of fused indole and carbazole units in a partially saturated (dihydro) framework. This rigid, planar molecule is of significant interest in organic electronics and materials science due to its strong π-conjugation and excellent charge-transport properties. It serves as a core structure in the design of semiconducting materials, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and field-effect transistors (OFETs). In medicinal chemistry, it provides a valuable scaffold for synthesizing receptor ligands and kinase inhibitors. The dihydro modification improves solubility and tunability, making it a useful intermediate in developing functionalized heterocycles and bioactive molecules.
