title: Synthesis, properties, and ambipolar organic field-effect transistor performances of symmetrically cyanated pentacene and naphthacene as air-stable acene derivatives.
abstract: 5,12-Dicyanonaphthacene and 6,13-dicyanopentacene have been synthesized for the first time. The LUMO and HOMO levels are deepened as predicted and fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) showed ambipolar responses with carrier mobilities of 10(-3) cm(2)/V·s.
