title: General synthesis of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) derivatives.
abstract: A new straightforward synthesis of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT) derivatives from readily available 2-methoxynaphthalenes is described. Thus, newly developed derivatives of DNTT showed very high field effect mobility in the vapor-processed field-effect transistors up to 8 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).
