Organic Semiconductor Molecules with Nonaromatic Core of 1,4-Dithiin
Novel thiophene-condensed 1,4-dithiin derivatives having styryl or phenyl groups were synthesized, and their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties were investigated. Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) devices using these derivatives exhibited typical p-type FET characteristics, though the core units of both molecules were not aromatic compounds.
