Abstract
Abstract Through-space conjugated molecules are interesting building blocks for the construction of functional materials that allow multi-dimensional transport of carrier and energy. However, the well explored through-space conjugated molecules are quite limited, which defers their structure-property correlation establishment and wide-scale application. In this review, we introduce a kind of newly-emerging folded tetraphenylethene derivatives featuring through-space conjugation. Their synthesis, crystal and electronic structures, and optical properties are described, and their representative applications as bipolar charge-transporting materials in organic light-emitting diodes and as single-molecule wires in molecular devices are presented, which are anticipated to provide guidance for the further expansion of through-space conjugated systems.
