Self-assembling of n-type semiconductor tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes with a large aromatic core.
[reaction: see text] Large disk-shaped aromatic tri(phenanthrolino)hexaazatriphenylenes 5a, 5b, and 5c with six butyl, dodecyl, and 4-octylphenyl groups, respectively, were self-assembled both in solution and film state to form one-dimensional aggregates. Their n-type semiconducting nature was indicated from CV measurement, in which the first reduction potentials were evaluated at around -1.7 V (vs Fc/Fc(+)) in dichloromethane.
