Design and synthesis of new organic functional materials with improved performance or novel properties are of great importance in the field of optoelectronics.Azulene,as a non-alternant aromatic hydrocarbon,has attracted rising attention in the last few years.Different from most common aromatic hydrocarbons,azulene has unique characteristics,including large dipole moment,small gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO).However,the design and synthesis of azulene-based functional materials are still facing several challenges.This review focuses on the recent development of organic functional materials employing azulene unit.The synthesis of various functionalized azulene derivatives is summarized and their applications in optoelectronics are discussed,with particular attention to the fields including nonlinear optics(NLO),organic field-effect transistors(OFETs),solar cells,and molecular devices.
Design and synthesis of new organic functional materials with improved performance or novel properties are of great importance in the field of optoelectronics. Azulene, as a non-alternant aromatic hydrocarbon, has been attracted rising attention in the last few years. Different from most common aromatic hydrocarbons , azulene has unique characteristics, including large dipole moment, small gap between the highest committed molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) .However, the design and synthesis of azulene-based functional materials are still facing several challenges. This review focuses on the recent development of organic functional materials employing azulene unit. The synthesis of various functionalized azulene derivatives is summarized and their applications in optoelectronics are summarized, with particular attention to the fields including nonlinear optics (NLO), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), solar cells, and molecular devices.
