Give me five! Pentacene‐based polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dyads are synthesized via an unsymmetrical pentacene building block. These molecules exhibit cofacial solid‐state π‐stacking as a result of the large aromatic chromophores. The choice of the PAH attached to the pentacene (see picture) influences the electronic properties as determined by UV/Vis absorption/emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
