Organic field-effect transistors have been fabricated from novel naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimides with unsymmetrical substitution. Two of these show distinct electron mobility, providing the first evidence that hydrogen bonding can be a means of producing a semiconducting morphology from organic compounds.
