Abstract

Provided are an organic semiconductor material having a high charge mobility, oxidation stability, and solvent solubility, an organic semiconductor device using the same, and a novel aromatic heterocyclic compound to be used for the same and a production method therefor. The aromatic heterocyclic compound is represented by the following general formula (1), has two heteroatoms, and has a structure in which six rings are fused. In the formula, X represents an oxygen atom or N—R, and R represents hydrogen or a monovalent substituent. The organic semiconductor material contains the aromatic heterocyclic compound, and is used for an organic semiconductor film or an organic device, such as an organic thin-film transistor or an organic photovoltaic device.

Claims (10)

1. An aromatic heterocyclic compound, which is represented by the following general formula (1):

wherein:

X represents an oxygen atom or N—R;

R's each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituent; and at least one of the R's represents a monovalent group selected from the group consisting of: a halogen atom; a hydroxy group; a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; an amino group; a substituted amino group; a thiol group; a substituted sulfonyl group; a cyano group; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 48 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group having 2 to 48 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon-substituted alkynyl group having 8 to 50 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle-substituted alkynyl group having 4 to 50 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon-substituted alkenyl group having 8 to 50 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle-substituted alkenyl group having 4 to 50 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsilylalkynyl group having 5 to 30 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsilyl group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane group having 1 to 30 silicon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane alkyl group having 1 to 30 silicon atoms; and a substituted or unsubstituted polysilane group having 1 to 30 silicon atoms;

a and c each represent an integer of from 1 to 4; and

b and d each represent an integer of 1 or 2.

2. The aromatic heterocyclic compound according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the R's represents a monovalent substituent of: a halogen atom; a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a thiol group; a substituted sulfonyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a cyano group; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 24 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon-substituted alkynyl group having 8 to 26 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle-substituted alkynyl group having 6 to 26 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon-substituted alkenyl group having 8 to 26 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocycle-substituted alkenyl group having 6 to 26 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsilylalkynyl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsilyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane group having 1 to 20 silicon atoms; a substituted or unsubstituted siloxane alkyl group having 1 to 20 silicon atoms; or a substituted or unsubstituted polysilane group having 1 to 20 silicon atoms.

3. The aromatic heterocyclic compound according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic heterocyclic compound is represented by the following general formula (2):

wherein, X and R have the same meanings as X and R in the general formula (1), respectively.

4. The aromatic heterocyclic compound according to claim 1 , wherein X represents N—R.
