The first liquid crystalline phthalocyanine derivative capable of edge-on alignment for solution processed organic thin-film transistors.
Tetraoctyl-substituted vanadyl phthalocyanine (OVPc4C8) as a new NIR-absorbing discotic liquid crystalline material can form highly ordered thin films with edge-on alignment of the molecules and molecular packing mode identical to that in the phase II of OVPc for solution processed OTFTs with mobility up to 0.017 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).
