Abstract

Pentacene has excellent semi-conducting characteristics. But pentacene practically used in OTFTs gives rise to problems mainly due to its sensitivity to oxygen and its very low solubility. In order to make up the problems, 6,13-disubstituted pentacene derivative was synthesized and characterized. The properties of the compound were characterized by FT-IR, NMR and we measured the charge transport mobility and the on/off current ratios.
