Abstract

The various inventions and/or their embodiments disclosed herein relate to certain naphthalene diimide (NDI) compounds wherein the NDI groups are bonded to certain subclasses of bridging heteroaryl (hAr) groups, such as the “NDI-hAr-NDI” oligomeric compounds, wherein hAr is a heteroaryl group chosen to provide desirable electronic and steric properties, and the possible identities of the “Rz” terminal peripheral substituent groups are described herein. Transistor and inverter devices can be prepared.
