Abstract

We have explored materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) from the viewpoint of theoretical calculations. The herringbone structure, which realizes two-dimensional conduction, is investigated in detail. Transfer integrals (t) are calculated systematically as a function of the dihedral angle between the molecular planes (θ) and the displacement along the molecular long axis (D). Acenes, oligothiophenes, thienoacenes and tetrathiafulvalenes are investigated, and are discussed from the molecular orbital (MO) symmetry. Thienoacenes (nTAs) are particularly examined as a candidate of OFET materials from the calculations of transfer integrals and reorganization energies (λ) based on the energy levels and the MO symmetry. LUMO of nTAs have MO symmetry suitable for conduction, but these orbitals are usually not related to the conduction. We have investigated the electronic properties of the derivatives with dicarboximide moiety. nTA-tetracarboxydiimide is expected to show the herringbone structure and exhibit n-type transport from the properties of LUMO.
