General Description

Tetraceno[2,1,12,11-opqra]tetracene, also known as pentacene, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of five linearly-fused benzene rings. It has a deep blue color and is a semiconductor material with potential applications in organic electronics. Its unique molecular structure allows for high charge carrier mobility, making it a promising material for use in organic field-effect transistors and organic light-emitting diodes. Pentacene films have been used in organic thin-film transistors and have shown potential for use in flexible displays and electronic devices. However, pentacene is also known to be unstable in air and can degrade over time, making it a challenging material to work with. Nonetheless, research continues to investigate and improve the properties and stability of this significant chemical compound for various electronic applications.
