Abstract

A novel sandwich-type tris(phthalocyaninato) europium triple-decker complex bearing peripheral electron-withdrawing groups (see center of figure) is used to fabricate a field-effect transistor by the quasi-Langmuir-Schaefer method. The air-stable, single-component ambipolar OFET device displays the best carrier properties of a device fabricated by solution processing of a single phthalocyanine derivative so far, which makes the complex very promising for applications in nanoelectronics.
