Synthesis and X-ray structural analysis of an acyclic bifunctional vicinal triketone, its hydrate, and its ethanol-adduct

We have synthesized and fully characterized an acyclic bifunctional vicinal tricarbonyl compound, its hydrate, and its ethanol-adduct, which could be converted to one another by utilizing the reversible addition-elimination of water or ethanol. X-ray sing

Dioxaborines as organic n-semiconductors, process for the production of semiconductors utilizing dioxaborines, and semiconductor component, field effect transistor, and diode having a dioxaborine

Dioxaborines as organic n-semiconductors, a process for the production of semiconductors utilizing dioxaborines, and a semiconductor component, a field effect transistor, and a diode having a dioxaborine are provided. Dioxaborines have a conjugated π-system that carries two terminal six-membered dioxaborine heterocycles that are electronically linked to one another via the central π-system. The compounds have good electron mobility and very good reversibility of redox behavior and are therefore suitable as organic semiconductors in electronic semiconductor components. Processes for manufacturing the electronic semiconductor components utilize the dioxabroines.
