A novel family of photo- and electroactive amorphous molecular materials containing an oligothiophene moiety linked to two triphenylamine moieties has been designed and synthesized (see Figure). Their glass-forming properties, morphological changes, and molecular and solid-state properties are described. They are reported to exhibit multiredox behavior on electrochemical oxidation.
