Furan fused V-shaped organic semiconducting materials with high emission and high mobility.

We report a facile synthetic protocol for preparation of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-d]furan (DNF-V) derivatives. DNF-V derivatives showed high emissive behaviour in solid. A solution-crystallized transistor based on alkylated DNF-V derivatives showed an excellent carrier mobility of up to 1.3 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), thereby proving to be a new solution-processable active organic semiconductor with high emission and high mobility.
