Synthesis and properties of naphthobisbenzo[b]thiophenes: structural curvature of higher acene frameworks for solubility enhancement and high-order orientation in crystalline states
摘要:
The syntheses of naphtho[2,3-b:7,6-b']- and naphtho[2,1-b:5,6-b']bisbenzo[b]thiophenes (NBBTs) are achieved via inter- and intramolecular stepwise Friedel-Crafts-type reactions. The structural curvature of these NBBTs are found to improve their solubility in organic solvents, and to form well-defined herringbone structures in single crystals, especially when the C-2v symmetrical naphtho[2,3-b:7,6-b']bisbenzo[b]thiophene takes the form of asymmetric space groups in a parallel direction with each other, and having exhibited OFET characteristics with a hole mobility of 7 x 10(-5) cm(2) V-1 s(-1).
