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···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.
