Abstract

Pentacene has excellent semi-conducting characteristics. But pentacene practically used in OTFTs gives rise to problems mainly due to its sensitivity to oxygen and its very low solubility. In order to make up the problems, 6,13-disubstituted pentacene derivatives were synthesized and characterized. The properties of the compounds were characterized by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Now we are measuring the charge transport mobility and the on/off current ratios.
