Abstract

Oligothiophene derivatives have been wellknown as an p-type channel $material.^1$ Here, we report novel oligothiophene derivative containing alkylene linkage as an p-type channel material. Oligothiophene derivative containing alkylene linkage BE4TH was synthesized and characterized. BE4TH was prepared by a palladium-catalyzed crosscoupling reaction via zinc-substituted thiophene. B4TH and BH4TH exhibited high thermal stability and at least one transition temperature.
