The synthesis of cyano end-capped sexithiophene is reported using the palla
dium-catalyzed coupling reaction via organotin intermediates. Schottky diod
e structures with metal/CN-6T-CN/metal using cyano end-capped sexithiophene
and various metals were fabricated by vapour deposition. Electron injectio
n and rectification ratio strongly depend on the metal contact which is com
patible with the electron affinity materials.
