Solution-processed, high-performance 1D single-crystalline nanoribbon transistors fabricated from dithioperylene are described. The integration of two sulfur atoms into the perylene skeleton induces a compressed highly ordered packing mode directed by S center dot center dot center dot S interactions. The mobilities of up to 2.13 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for a dithioperylene individual nanoribbon make it particularly attractive for electronic applications.
