Article Synopsis
- This study presents a technique for encouraging targeted nucleation and growth of large, oriented organic semiconductor single crystals using micropatterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
- The research shows successful growth of these crystals, highlighting their potential applications in organic electronic devices.
- This method allows for the simultaneous control of multiple growth parameters, representing a significant advancement in the fabrication of organic single-crystal semiconductor devices.
The substitution of chloro or bromo groups in tetracene gives rise to the change of crystal structure, having a substantial effect on carrier transport. Halogenated tetracene derivatives were synthesized and grown into single crystals. Monosubstituted 5-bromo- and 5-chlorotetracenes have the herringbone-type structure, while 5,11-dichlorotetracene has the slipped pi stacking structure.
