Abstract

Featuring small charge transport scattering, mesoscale size, and easy fabrication, one-dimensional self-assembled micro/nanomaterials (1D-MNMs) based on organic π-conjugated systems can be facilely incorporated into integrated microcircuits. Although tremendous progress has been made in 1D-MNMs based on p- or n-channel organic semiconductors, examples of lD-MNMs based on ambipolar organic semiconductors are scarce. Herein, we achieved a novel 1D-MNM based on 6,13-dicyanopentacene (DCP) with a 1D slipped stacking motif using the physical vapor transport method. The DCP-based 1D-MNM showed outstanding, well-balanced ambipolar charge transport with electron and hole mobilities of up to 0.34 and 0.38 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively, which are among the best ambipolar transport characteristics of 1D-MNMs. Furthermore, a complementary inverter based on the ambipolar 1D-MNM of DCP was also constructed with a gain of up to 7, indicating potential application in organic logic circuits.
