Abstract

Solution-processable derivatives 4ad of the novel diindeno[1,2-g:1′,2′-s]rubicene ring system have been prepared in three steps from 1,5-dichloroanthraquinone. Charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage measurements indicates that 4ad have bulk mobilities <10–7 cm2 V–1 s–1. Consistent with these low mobility values, field-effect transistors fabricated from 4ad show poor performance. X-ray crystallographic analyses indicate that in the crystalline state, molecules of compounds 4bd pack in a manner that hinders π–π stacking, thus preventing strong electronic coupling between molecules that is essential for high charge mobility semiconductor performance.
