Abstract
AbstractThienoacenes consist of fused thiophene rings in a ladder‐type molecular structure and have been intensively studied as potential organic semiconductors for organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) in the last decade. They are reviewed here. Despite their simple and similar molecular structures, the hitherto reported properties of thienoacene‐based OFETs are rather diverse. This Review focuses on four classes of thienoacenes, which are classified in terms of their chemical structures, and elucidates the molecular electronic structure of each class. The packing structures of thienoacenes and the thus‐estimated solid‐state electronic structures are correlated to their carrier transport properties in OFET devices. With this perspective of the molecular structures of thienoacenes and their carrier transport properties in OFET devices, the structure–property relationships in thienoacene‐based organic semiconductors are discussed. The discussion provides insight into new molecular design strategies for the development of superior organic semiconductors.
