Received: 10 February 2010; in revised form: 16 March 2010 / Accepted: 9 April 2010 / Published: 14 April 2010 Abstract: Functionalized pentacene derivatives continue to provide unique materials for organic semiconductor applications. Although oligomers and polymers based on pentacene building blocks remain quite rare, recent synthetic achievements have provided a number of examples with varied structural motifs. This review highlights recent work in this area and, when possible, contrasts the properties of defined-length pentacene oligomers to those of mono- and polymeric systems. Keywords: pentacene; oligomer; polymer; oligoacene; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon; semiconductor 1. Introduction Over the past few years, significantly improved optoelectronic properties have been achieved by conjugating chromophores such as thiophenes [1–2] and anthracenes [3–11] to form oligomers and polymers. For example, conjugated oligomers and polymers of anthracene have promising charge- carrier mobilities and continue to be explored [3–11], even though anthracene is not regarded as a particularly good organic semiconductor for thin film applications. On the other hand, pentacene, a benzannulated relative of anthracene in the linear oligoacene family, has technologically relevant charge-carrier mobilities
