Pentacene (CAS NO.135-48-8) have been examined as potential dichroic dyes. The pentacenoquinone displayed below is fluorescent and when mixed with liquid crystal E7 mixture a dichroic ratio of 8 is reached. The longer the acene the better it is able to align itself in a nematic liquid crystal phase. Combined with buckminsterfullerene, pentacene is used in the development of organic photovoltaic devices. Pentacene is a promising candidate for the use in organic thin film transistors and OFETs. It is one of the most thoroughly investigated conjugated organic molecules with a high application potential due to a hole mobility in OFETs of up to 5.5 cm2V-1s-1, which is comparable to that of amorphous silicon.
