Abstract:A series of soluble pentacene precursors are designed, from which pure pentacene can be generated either thermally or photochemically. Small volatile fragments like CO and CO 2 are extruded during the dissociation reactions. Thin films of pentacene made from these precursors exhibited typical OTFT characteristics.
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.
