Synthetic Chemistry for Ultrapure, Processable, and High-Mobility Organic Transistor Semiconductors
Abstract
An essential aspect of the development of organic-based electronics is the synthetic chemistry devised for the preparation of the semiconductor materials responsible for the activity of organic field-effect transistors. Access to organic semiconductors in sufficient purity and variety has led to breakthroughs in solid-state physics and circuit realization. In this Account, we review the synthetic methods that have been most useful for preparing a range of semiconductors, including thiophene-based oligomers, several kinds of fused rings, and polymers. The tradeoff between process efficiency and target purity is emphasized.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
