Stilbenes and compounds containing stilbene units in their structures form the material basis for numerous research projects in photophysics and photochemistry. Moreover, because these compounds are easy to synthesize and are thermally and chemically stable, they are taking on an increasingly prominent role in the area of materials science investigations into optical, electrical, and optoelectronic properties. In accordance with the interdisciplinary nature of such studies, this article aims to provide a bridge extending from molecular theory and photophysical measurements, through preparative applications, to material effects and their potential technical applications.
