Abstract

A novel type of anti and syn isomers of a pentacyclic compound consisting of two thiophene rings and one pyrrole ring were efficiently synthesized from benzo[b]thiophene, and the anti isomer exhibits better charge transport and OFET properties compared with the syn isomer and its N-hexyl substitution.
