High-performance semiconductors based on oligocarbazole-thiophene derivatives for solution-fabricated organic field-effect transistors

► These oligomeric semiconductors were synthesized rapidly. ► The thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties were fully investigated. ► The liquid crystal properties can be obtained via alkyl chain length adjustment. ► These oligomeric semiconductors can be solution-fabricated. ► One of these oligomeric semiconductors yields high field-effect hole mobility.
