Abstract

Oligothiophene derivatives have been well-known as an p-type channel material.$^1$ Here, we report novel oligothiophene derivative containing methylene linkage as an p-type channel material. Oligothiophene derivative containing methylene linkage BHTM was synthesized and characterized. BHTM was prepared by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction via zinc-substituted thiophene. BHTM exhibited high thermal stability and at least one transition temperature.
