Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite molecular structures combining electron-deficient heterocyclic groups (triazine, pyrimidine, pyridine rings) with electron-rich hydrocarbon ring groups (naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene). This composite approach creates balanced electron transport properties, improving electron mobility while managing the complexity through systematic molecular design
