Isolation and Characterization of the Unexpected 1-n-Octyloxyperopyrene: A Solution-Processable p-Type Organic Semiconductor

abstract

The synthesis and optical, electrochemical, thermal, and electrical characterization of a new and unexpected 1-n-octyloxyperopyrene is reported. The structure of 1-n-octyloxyperopyrene has been unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solubility of this polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, endowed by the alkoxy substituent, allows the fabrication of thin-film field-effect transistors by liquid deposition methods. These devices show hole mobilities up to 1.61 x 10(-3) cm(2) V-1 s(-1).
