Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors based on oligo-9,9'-dioctylfluorene phosphonic acids

The use of functional oligomers of π-conjugated oligofluorenes led to a region-selective assembly of amorphous monolayers which exhibit robust lateral charge transport pathways in self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors over long distances and even in mixed monolayers of semiconducting and insulating molecules. This oligomer concept might stimulate a new molecular design of self-assembling semiconducting materials.
