Pure pentacene was produced through thermal dissociation, while carbon dioxide and ethylene were extruded as volatile fragments. Thin solid film of pentacene can be prepared from these precursors by spin-coating method, followed by heating. Typical OTFT characteristics were observed from the devices prepared thereof.[SDGs]SDG6carbon dioxide; ethylene; organic compound; pentacene; volatile agent; article; chemical procedures; synthesis; thermal dissociation; thin filamentThermal generation of pentacene from soluble precursors through expulsion of carbon dioxidejournal article10.1016/j.tetlet.2008.05.0612-s2.0-44749083228WOS:000257401300011
