Here we report hexathienocoronenes (HTCs), fully thiophene-annelated coronenes in which six double bonds in the periphery are thieno-fused. The derivatives tetrasubstituted with hexyl and dodecyl chains show a phase formation that strongly depends on the chain length. HTCs are remarkably stronger donors than the known thiophene-annelated coronenes but do not readily assemble into well-ordered films when deposited from the vapor phase. Thus, thin-film transistors fabricated by vacuum deposition have only modest field-effect mobilities of 0.002 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).
