General description

2,7-Dihexylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetrone is a low-molecular weight perylene derivative which is used as a n-type organic semiconductor in field-effect transistors (FETs). They have high electron mobilities and very good on/off current ratios even in the presence of air. They also possess good mechanical properties and good chemical resistance to a wide range of solvents.

Application

Used as an n-type semiconducting material in organic printed electronics.

Features and Benefits

Good thermal stability and low electron injection barrier. They display a smectic phase with columnar arrangement of mesogens inside the layers when cooled from isotropic phase.
