title: Neutral tetrathia[22]annulene[2.1.2.1] based field-effect transistors: improved on/off ratio defies ring puckering.
abstract: New, neutral, slightly puckered aromatic meso-substituted tetrathia[22]annulene[2.1.2.1] macrocyclic architectures display p-type semiconductor behaviour and constitute molecular field-effect transistors with high on/off ratios (8.67 × 10(6)) and high mobility (0.23 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) in thin films deposited on octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) modified SiO(2).
