In the Rapid Research Letter on p. R37 Musubu Ichikawa et al. report very high electron mobility above 10 –3 cm 2 /Vs in the electron transporting material bipyridyl substituted oxadiazole (Bpy‐OXD). These favourable electrical properties make the amorphous molecular semiconductor promising for potential applications in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), flatpanel displays and lighting. The authors also give reasons – by means of computational chemistry – why this planar material forms stable amorphous solid films. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
