Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of alkoxy-substituted silylethynylated pentacene derivatives (R = CH 2CH2, CHCH, CH2). All three compounds are easily prepared, soluble in common organic solvents, and stable both as solids and in solution. Two of the derivatives possess significant π-face interactions in the crystal. Values for λmax for these new pentacene derivatives range from 621 to 674 nm, and oxidation potentials lie between 109 and 301 mV versus ferrocene.
