Abstract

Recently, organic thin-film transistors(OTFTs) have been intensively investigated for the applications because it can be used to flexible displays, printed electronics, wearable devices, high sensitive gas sensors and so on. Organic semiconductors were studied such as a vapor deposition small molecule, solution processible small molecule and polymeric material. Currently, the liquid crystal type organic semiconductor using a liquid crystal phase has been intensively studied. The metalloprphyrin as organic semiconductor have been studied with their high stabily(light, acid, base) and conjugated pi-electrons. The synthesis was conducted such as these, alkyl chain was used to give liquid crystallinity to the sides, pi electron expanders were placed for the characteristics of high mobility at the middle. Here, metal complexes, the final compound were prepared through the Sonogashira coupling using this compound and the pere-made alkyne along with the palladium catalyst. The work for me ahead is to research regarding each liquid crystallinity and electrical properties in accordance with the various changes to the central metals. In this work, we report to research of the metalloporphyrin regarding each liquid crystalline behaviors and electrical properties in accordance with the various changes to the central metals.
