Ambipolar charge carrier transport properties in the homologous series of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaalkoxytriphenylene
In this study, ambipolar charge carrier transport properties were investigated for a homologous series of triphenylene by time-of-flight (TOF) technique for the homeo-tropic domains. Ambipolar electronic charge carrier transport was observed and the both positive and negative charge carrier mobilities decrease with the increase of the alkyl chain length. Ionic conduction was also observed for the negative charge carrier transport except for C4OTP and any remarkable dependency of the alkyl chain length was not seen. It was reasonably found that both the positive and negative charged carrier mobilities by electronic hopping process is affected by the intra columnar order.
