A soluble precursor of hexacene and its application in thin film transistors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Mar 18;49(22):2240-2. doi: 10.1039/c3cc00278k.

Abstract

A soluble precursor of hexacene is prepared from a cycloaddition of hexacene and diethyl ketomalonate in high yield. It can be used to make hexacene thin-films through spin-coating for the fabrication of organic field effect transistors.
