A spine‐ or herringbone‐like array of molecules characterizes the crystal structure of the organic semiconductor 2,5‐bis(4‐biphenylyl)thiophene (BP1T). Its bent molecular shape enforces an upright disposition of the molecular long axes against the ab ‐plane that parallels the crystal faces of the flake‐like crystals (see Figure). Unusual optical properties, e.g., high emission, result from this feature.
