Conjugated organic molecules have been the subjects of continuous interest for possible applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices or as photoactive materials. Synthetic efforts aimed at ?-conjugated systems having well-defined architectures are driven by the desire to impart specific optical and electrical properties to materials by control of their molecular structure. Here we describe conjugated fused- arenes as promising materials for thin film organic transistors (OFETs).  The novel derivatives of thiaanthracenes and thiapyrenes were synthesized and characterized using proton NMR and IR spectroscopy. The photophysical properties of these derivatives were examined in both solution and solid state. Future studies will focus on evaluation of their performance for OFETs.
