“…The pyrolysis of naphthalene, anthracene, pentacene, perylene, and coronene at 8 GPa suggests that the temperature (1280 °C) for diamond formation does not depend on the nature of the starting PAH for all investigated compounds. 367 Several other substituted pentacene structures, such as 6,13-diethylpentacene, 368 6,13-dihydroxypentacene, 369 [b]-cyclohexenepentacene, 370 1,4,8,11-tetramethoxypentacene, 371 1,11,12,13,14-pentahydroxypentacene, 371 1,11,12,13,14-pentakis(hydroxymethyl)pentacene, 372 6,13-dichloropentacene, 373 and 5,6,7,-12,13,14-hexachloropentacene, 374 have been claimed in the literature, but only one of these (1,4,8,11tetramethoxypentacene) has been fully characterized. To the best of our knowledge, the application of any of these materials in FETs or other electronic devices has not been reported to date.…”
