High performance n- and p-type field-effect transistors based on tetrathiafulvalene derivatives.

The first n-type FET based on TTF derivatives was prepared. TTF derivatives with halogeno-substituted quinoxaline rings showed excellent n- or p-type performances with high carrier mobilities. Introduction of halogen groups determined the FET polarity by controlling the HOMO and LUMO levels of the molecules. The pi-stacking structures were observed in the single crystals of tetrahalogeno-TTFs.
