Long-Term Air-Stable n-Channel Organic Thin-Film Transistors Usii 2,5-Difluoro-1,4-phenylene-bis{2-[4- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acrylonitrile}

摘要

A long-term air-stable n-type organic semiconductor, 2,5- difluoro-1,4-phenylene-bis{2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acrylonitrile}, was synthesized by a high-yield simple procedure of Knoevenagel condensation with aldehyde and acetonitrile derivatives. A fabricated organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) using this compound exhibited good n-channel OTFT properties with a high electron mobility of 0.17 cm~2 V~(-1) s~(-1) and an on/off current ratio of 10~6 under both vacuum and ambient air operation. After storage in ambient air for 1 year, a stored n-channel OTFT still shows good n-channel OTFT performance with little degradation in ambient air operation.
