In order to improve device processability, it is important that organic semiconducting materials have good thermal durability. In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/aelm.201700142, Joon Hak Oh, Jeong‐Il Park, and co‐workers describe the synthesis and chargetransport behavior of a new thermally durable organic semiconductor, dibenzothiopheno[6,5‐b:6′,5′‐f]thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (DPh‐DBTTT), using crystallographic analysis and an organic field‐effect transistor platform. Its outstanding electrical properties combined with thermal durability substantially extends the number of practical organic semiconductor applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
