    In the first chapter, we review the historical and recent advances in the design and implementation of indenofluorene (IF)-based semiconductors in organic transistor and solar cell devices. In the second chapter, a series of n-type ambient-stable and solution- processable TIFDMT-based semiconducting molecules, β,β'-C8-TIFDMT, β,β'-C12- TIFDMT, and β,β'-C16-TIFDMT are reported. By utilizing alkyl chain engineering in TIFDMT-based molecules and semiconductor-dielectric interface engineering through PS-brush treatment onto the dielectric surface in their OFET devices, we optimize the semiconductors' morphologies and thin-film molecular packing motifs to attain high- performance OFETs. The PS-brush treated OFETs demonstrate high device performance with μe = 0.9 cm2/V.s and Ion/Ioff ratio = 107-108. In the third chapter, we demonstrate the design, synthesis, and characterizations of two novel meso-π-extended/-deficient BODIPY building blocks (2OD-T2BDY and 2OD-TTzBDY), a library of low band gap (Eg = 1.30-1.35 eV) donor-acceptor copolymers based on these building blocks, and the utilization of the D-A copolymers as donor materials in the bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics. Power conversion efficiencies of up to 4.4% with a short-circuit current of 12.07 mA cm-2 are achieved. The findings of this thesis on molecular engineering and optoelectronic properties are unique and may provide critical insights into the future development of high performance materials for unconventional optoelectronics.
