Light is used to transform the precursor molecule into two different organic semiconductor molecules, b-DNT and l-DNT

Caption

Researchers used a photochemical reaction to transform a sulfur- and nitrogen-containing precursor into two new organic semiconductor molecules, b-DNT and l-DNT. Their different molecular structures affect how the molecules pack together and, consequently, their predicted ability to transport electrical charge.
