6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene

6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethinyl)pentacene commonly known as TIPS pentacene.
A high-purity TIPS-Pentacene for use in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). TIPS-Pentacene is widely used as a high performance small molecule for OFET applications, with a mobility in excess of 1 cm2/Vs having being achieved in the literature. It has excellent solubility in a range of common organic solvents, and a good ambient stability - making it easy to process into devices.

6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) is a high-performance soluble organic semiconductor for printed and flexible electronics applications. Organic and Molecular Electronics Examples include the fabrication of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) with the highest reported switching speeds and field-effect mobilities in its class.
TIPS-pentacene forms a hybrid with (6,6)-phenylC61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) which can be used as an organic layer that can be coated onto a silicon (Si) substrate for the fabrication of a highly efficient terahertz (THz) modulator. It can be used as a piezoresisitive sensor that produces multiple strain sensors (single sensors and sensor arrays). Organic thin-film transistors can be developed by using silver electrodes as dielectric materials and TIPS-pentacene as a semiconducting layer, which can be deposited via inkjet printing.

6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) is a conductive polymer that can form organic thin films for a variety of semiconductor applications due to its high charge carrier mobility and stability.
