Abstract
(Graph Presented) A CO adduct of pentacene with an unsymmetrical structure is synthesized; it is soluble and can be spin-coated into thin films. Pentacene is regenerated in near quantitative yield by either thermal or photoinduced elimination of CO. OTFT devices fabricated by this compound exhibit typical FET characteristics. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
