Oligo(2,6‐anthrylene)s: Acene–Oligomer Approach for Organic Field‐Effect Transistors

Oligo(2,6-anthrylene)s 1 and their dihexyl derivatives have been synthesized by Suzuki coupling using palladium catalysts. Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) of these anthracene oligomers exhibited FET activity, and high hole mobilities up to 0.18 cm2 V−1 s−1 were observed.
