Solution Approach 1:

The molecular structure is segmented into distinct functional units: triazine core, dibenzothiophene/dibenzofuran rings, o-biphenyl groups, and variable substituent groups (R1-R14). This segmentation allows independent optimization of each unit's properties and facilitates systematic synthesis through modular assembly of pre-formed building blocks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs intermediary structures such as the triazine core and arylene linkers (L1-L3) that serve as mediators connecting the dibenzothiophene/dibenzofuran rings to the o-biphenyl groups. These intermediaries enable controlled synthesis by providing standardized connection points and facilitating stepwise molecular construction

Inventive Principle:
