Polymeric and Oligomeric OTFT Materials Containing Fused Aromatics

  • Published : 2006.10.13

Abstract

New polymeric and oligomeric OTFT materials containing fused aromatics such as anthracene and naphthalene have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The new OTFT materials were prepared by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The obtained materials were characterized by various spectroscopic methods such as UV-vis, PL, cyclovoltametry, and XRD. The obtained OTFT materials containing fused aromatics showed high thermal stability above $350^{\circ}C$ In OTFT devices using new materials, high charge carrier mobility and on/off ratio were observed.
