Self-assembly and electrical properties of a novel heptameric thiophene-benzothiadiazole based architectures

A novel semiconducting benzothiadiazole (BTZ)-thiophene (T) co-oligomer having an unprecedented BTZ-T alternated motif has been synthesized and self-assembled into micrometer sized fibers by simple solution processing. The electrical properties of these low-dimensional architectures have been characterized by integrating them in an organic field-effect transistor.
