Abstract

Boron–nitrogen units were incorporated into thiophene-fused polycyclic aromatic compounds. Organic field-effect transistors based on these azaborine compounds were fabricated, demonstrating a novel engineering concept of organic semiconductors and providing opportunities of a broad class of BN-containing compounds for application in future organic electronic devices (see picture; μFET=hole mobility).
