Oligothiophene cruciform with a Germanium spiro center: A promising material for organic photovoltaics

X marks the spot! A fascinating packing motif is observed in a novel cruciform oligothiophene containing a Ge (violet; see picture) spiro center. Long-range interchain interactions between molecules and strong electronic coherence between orthogonal chains within the molecules are present. Such orde...
