ANTHRATHIOPHENE DERIVATIVES WITH TRANSVERSE SOLUBILISING UNITS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS AS ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTORS

摘要

Anthrathiophene derivatives are disclosed, which comprise transverse solubilising groups at transversal positions relative to the longitudinal axis of the anthracene core. These compounds enable preferential molecular stacking and a high field effect mobility and at the same time show improved solubility as compared to known benzothiophene based materials. In addition, organic thin films comprising these derivatives, their use in electronic devices and components, such as organic thin film transistors, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed.
