Presentation Title:
Towards N-Type Acene Derivatives for Organic Electronic Applications
Abstract:
There is significant interest in organic
semiconducting materials because of their
potential application to various developing
technologies including organic light-emitting
diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic cells, low-cost
integrated circuits, and organic field effect
transistors (OFETs). At present, most organic
semiconductors, including pentacene, are p-type
materials. If plastic electronic devices are to be
realised then n-type organic materials will be
also be a requirement.
We have developed a new synthetic method
which allows us to access a series of
oligoazaacenes using a simple procedure. Nalkylation
of the oligoazaacene derivatives
gives compounds which can self-assemble to
give fiber-like, aggregated plate or membranous
bubble architectures 1 .
