Benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]thiophene(CAT: L047211) is a fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing a thiophene ring integrated into a benzo-naphthalene framework. This rigid, planar molecule is notable for its extended π-conjugation, making it valuable in materials science, especially in the development of organic semiconductors, OLEDs, and photovoltaic devices. Its electron-rich thiophene unit enhances charge mobility and optical absorption, while the overall structure supports strong intermolecular stacking. In research, it serves as a key scaffold for synthesizing advanced functional materials and dyes. Its unique electronic properties and structural rigidity also make it suitable for studying π–π interactions and photophysical behaviors in molecular electronics.
