| Over the years growth in the field of organic semiconductors has resulted in the synthesis of many varieties of organic semiconductors. However, there remains some under explored territory such as the use of unusual aromatics in the synthesis of organic semiconductors. It is with this in mind that we undertake the design and study of organic semiconductors possessing unusual aromatic structures. We have successfully synthesized monomers and polymers containing 1, 6-methano[10]annulene and have compared their properties with their naphthalene analogs. Studies done using UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry and cyclic voltammetry suggest that the 1, 6-methano[10]annulene compounds support the greater delocalization of radical cations thereby potentially making them the better charge carriers.
