Abstract

Coplanar benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']bis[b]benzothiophenes (, ) for the application in organic field-effect transistors were synthesized by a simple two-step procedure involving triflic acid induced ring-closure reaction; such solution processed devices show a hole mobility of up to 0.01 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).
