Abstract

New soluble anthracene derivatives containing thiophene and phenylenevinylene derivatives were synthesized via well-known synthetic routes. TIPS derivatives were added at the 9,10-positions of anthracene for the solubility and crystallinity. Both of the molecules were found to be promising for high charge mobility and stable organic semiconductors. The soluble anthracene core (TIPSAnt) is a potential precursor for the synthesis of novel semiconducting materials.
