Polymorphism of organic semiconductor
Organic semiconductors exhibit high versatility and large number of advantages in the electronic fields because of their solution-processability and low cost of production. However, possible polymorphism, due to the fact that organic molecules can adopt different crystal packings, may induce variation in electronic, mechanical, or optical properties at the solid state. Indeed, even small changes in the packing of organic semiconductors affect their electronic performances by orders of magnitude.

An innovative approach to treat bacterial infections is based on the design of new drugs capable of enhancing antibiotic activity by reducing the therapeutic dose of conventional antibiotics and minimizing resistance. It is necessary to identify compounds able to selectively target a key enzyme, such as the enzyme involved in the microbial reductive sulfur assimilation pathway.
