Popis: Previously it was demonstrated that triptycene end‐capping can be used as a crystal engineering strategy to direct the packing of quinoxalinophenanthrophenazines (QPPs) towards cofacially stacked π dimers with large molecular overlap resulting in high charge transfer integrals. Remarkably, this packing motif was formed under different crystallization conditions and with a variety of derivatives bearing additional functional groups or aromatic substituents. Benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT) and its derivatives are known as some of the best performing compounds for organic field‐effect transistors. Here, the triptycene end‐capping concept is introduced to this class of compounds and polymorphic crystal structures are investigated to evaluate the potential of triptycene end‐caps as synthons for crystal engineering.
