2,8-Di(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5,11-di-n-octylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (2TFMPOIND) has been synthesised by a Suzuki coupling reaction. Single crystal microribbons of 2TFMPOIND are then fabricated by a solution assembly process. The microribbons have novel mechanical, optical, and electrical properties.
