Electron-transporting (n-type) organic semiconductor suitable for fabrication of n-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). OFETs with electron mobilities με ~ 10-2 cm2/Vs and current on/off ratios on the order of 104 were made based on 1-dimensional nanowires prepared from N,N′-Dipentyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide.
N,N′-Dipentyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C5) belongs to the class of perylene based semiconducting materials that can be used as active compounds in a variety of opto-electronic devices. Its properties include cost efficiency, high mobility of electrons, high molar absorption coefficient, reversible redox properties and good electrochemical properties.
