Thin film field-effect transistors of 2,6-diphenyl anthracene (DPA)†
Abstract
An anthracene derivative, 2,6-diphenyl anthracene (DPA), was successfully synthesized with three simple steps and a high yield. The compound was determined to be a durable high performing semiconductor with thin film device mobility over 10 cm2 V−1 s−1. The efficient synthesis and high performance indicates its great potential in organic electronics.
