High-performance organic field-effect transistors based on single and large-area aligned crystalline microribbons of 6,13-dichloropentacene

Abstract

Single and large-area aligned crystalline microribbons of 6,13-dichloropentacene (DCP) are prepared. The ribbons display excellent charge transport properties with a mobility of up to 9.0 cm2 V-1 s-1 in ambient conditions, one of the highest values reported for organic semiconductors. The slipped π-π stacking with large intermolecular overlap is responsible for the high mobility of DCP ribbons. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
