Heterocirculenes as a new class of organic semiconductors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Nov 14:(42):5354-6. doi: 10.1039/b809259a. Epub 2008 Sep 19.

Abstract

We report a fabrication of field-effect transistors using the new organic semiconductors octathio[8]circulene and tetrathiotetraseleno[8]circulene . The maximum hole mobility of 9 x 10(-3) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) is, most likely, limited by one-dimensional growth of and in thin films.
