Abstract

We report the synthesis of 5,7,12,14-tetraphenyl-substituted 6,13-dihydro-6,13-diazapentacene and its fully aromatic 6,13-diazapentacene congener. Both arylated diazapentacenes were characterized by X-ray crystallography to investigate their solid-state structures and by UV–vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry to unveil their electronic properties. The experimental results are complemented with theoretical investigations. The semiconductor properties of both diazapentacene derivatives were assessed in organic field-effect transistors, whereby the fully aromatized compound showed comparably less abundant n-type behavior.
