Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Indolo[3,2-b]carbazole Semiconductors
文摘
The synthesis, characterization, and field-effect transistor (FET) properties of new indolo[3,2-b]carbazoles are described. In particular, an extensive characterization of their crystal structures has revealedthe importance of the nature of the side chains (alkyl, phenyl, thienyl substituents) on their solid-stateorganization. These organic materials have exhibited p-type FET behavior with hole mobilities as high as0.2 cm2 V-1 s-1 with an on/off current ratio higher than 106. Best results were obtained with phenyl-substitutedindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles since the presence of phenyl substituents seems to allow efficient overlap betweenthe oligomeric molecules. More importantly, FET properties were kept constant during several months inair.
