The field-effect hole mobility of rubicene having high ionization energy (∼5.5 eV) is 0.20 cm2 V−1 s−1 and is improved to 0.32 cm2 V−1 s−1 with PFBT SAM treatment which reduces the hole injection barrier and induces an edge-on configuration.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to investigate the semiconductor performance of a series of phthalocyaninato zinc complexes, namely Zn[Pc(β-OCH3)8] (1), ZnPc (2), and Zn[Pc(β-COOCH3)8] (3) {[ Pc(β-OCH3)8]2- = dianion of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octamethoxyphthalocyanine; Pc2- = dianion of phthalocyanine; [ Pc(β-COOCH3)8]2- = dianion of 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octamethoxycarbonylphthalocyanine} for organic field effect transistor (OFET). The effect of peripheral substituents on tuning the nature of phthalocyaninato zinc semiconductor has been clearly revealed. Introduction of eight weak electron-donating methoxy groups onto the peripheral positions of ZnPc (2) leads to a decrease in the hole injection barrier relative to Au electrode and an increase in the electron injection barrier, making compound 1 a better p-type semiconductor material in comparison with 2. In contrast, peripheral methoxycarbonyl substitution depresses the energy level of LUMO and thus induces an increase for the electron affinity (EA) value of ZnPc (2), resulting in the change of semiconductor nature from p-type for ZnPc (2) to n-type for Zn[Pc(β-COOCH3)8] (3) due to the improved electron injection ability. The calculated charge transfer mobility for hole is 1.05 cm2.V-1.s-1 for 1 and 5.33 cm2.V-1.s-1 for 2, while that for electron is 0.16 cm2.V-1.s-1 for 3. The present work should be helpful for designing and preparing novel phthalocyanine semiconductors in particular with good n-type OFET performance.

In this work, we characterized poly(quinacridone-diphenylquinoxaline) (PQCTQx). PQCTQx was synthesized by a Suzuki coupling reaction and the synthesized PQCTQx was used as a polymeric semiconducting material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to research the potential of using quinacridone derivatives. The measured field-effect mobility of the pristine PQCTQx film was 6.1 × 10−3 cm2/(V·s). A PQCTQx film heat-treated at 150 °C exhibited good field-effect performances with a hole mobility of 1.2 × 10−2 cm2/(V·s). The improved OFET behaviors resulting from the mild thermal treatment was attributed to improved packing of the molecules in the film, as determined using X-ray diffraction, and to decreased channel resistance.

In this work gas sensing properties of Langmuir-Schaefer monolayer organic field-effect transistors (LS OFETs) prepared from organosilicon derivative of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-benzothiophene (BTBT) have been investigated. The monolayer has been deposited using Langmuir-Schaefer method, which results in a uniform low-defect monolayer with excellent electrical performance, hole mobility up to 7 × 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1, the threshold voltage around 0 V and on-off ratio of 104. Developed sensors demonstrate a long-term stability of a half-year storage under ambient conditions. Preliminary investigations demonstrated that the LS OFETs give instantaneous response on ammonia and hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations. The results reported open new perspectives for the OFET-based gas-sensing technology.
