title: Synthesis of dendritic oligothiophenes and their self-association properties by intermolecular pi-pi interactions.
abstract: [structure: see text] The addition of oligothiophene into a dendritic structure causes a self-association behavior by intermolecular pi-pi interactions in a solution and in a solid state. Increasing the generation of the dendritic structure gives not only a high association constant but also sufficient field-effect hole mobility, which indicates that the charge-transporting passes are formed by the strong pi-pi interactions.
