24. Geerts and co-workers reported the synthesis of isomerically pure anti -ADT derivatives with alkyl groups in the 2- and 8-positions, although to our knowledge no device data have been reported; see: Tylleman, B.; Vande Velde, C.

25. Anthony and co-workers have showed that amide substitution at the ADT 2- and 8-positions allows for selective crystallization of the syn-and anti -isomers and that regiochemistry has a significant impact on solar cell performance; see: Li, Z.; Lim, Y.-F.; Kim, J. B.; Parkin, S. R.; Loo, Y.-L.; Malliaras, G. G.; Anthony, J. E. Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 7617-7619
