This work focuses on the development of high performance and air stable OFETs of functionalized phenanthro[9,10‐ d ]imidazoles. Among different strategies, structural tailoring of the molecules offers crucial responsibility in regulating the device operations. Solution‐processable bottom gate top contact OFETs are fabricated and characterized in ambient conditions. All the functionalized phenanthro[9,10‐ d ]imidazoles exhibit noticeable p‐type characteristics with high charge carrier mobility, high ON/OFF ratio and low threshold voltages. The compounds may find applications in the development of organic memory and other devices. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Samuthira Nagarajan et al.
