Relevance to organic electronic materials

Aromatic compounds with extended π-conjugated system have attracted attention because of their potential use in organic electronics as organic semiconductors.[1] Of academic interest, pentacene has been widely used as an active layer in organic thin-film field-effect transistors (OFET). The main drawback of pentacene OFET is degradation upon exposure to light and air. On the other hand, phenacenes, an isomeric form of acenes, has been known as a stable compound in which the benzene rings are fused in a zigzag structure. For the past several years, there is renewed interest in synthesis of phenacene derivatives associated with electronic applications in emissive and semi- or superconducting materials.[2][3][4]

Picene (phenacene) can serve as an active layer of a high-performance p-channel organic thin-film FET with very high field-effect mobility μ = 5 cm2/(V⋅s).[5] Phenacene FET shows μ = 0.75 cm2/(V⋅s) and no sensitivity to air. Furthermore, picene doped with potassium and rubidium exhibit superconductivity with a maximum critical temperature TC ≈ 18 K.[4] Thus, phenacenes and their derivatives may play an important role in future fabrication of stable and high-performance electronic devices such as OFET, OLED and organic solar cells. Substituted picenes may serve as an active layer of OFETs.[6]
