Synthesis, structure, and field-effect property of 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl) quinoline

摘要

A new active electronic material, 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl) quinoline (BIQ), has been synthesized and fully characterized. This compound exhibits field-effect carrier mobility and behaves as a p-type semiconductor (mu_(FET)=0.038 cm~2/V s at V_(DS)=15 V). BIQ and its related imidazolylquinoline compounds may have possible application as active materials in organic thin film transistors.
