Abstract
A series of soluble pentacene precursors are designed, from which pure pentacene can be generated either thermally or photochemically. Small volatile fragments like CO and CO2 are extruded during the dissociation reactions. Thin films of pentacene made from these precursors exhibited typical OTFT characteristics.
