Field-effect Characteristics of a One-dimensional Platinum Chain Compound, Bis(1,2-benzoquinonedioximato)platinum(II)

Abstract We report fabrication and device characteristics of field-effect transistors (FETs) based on single crystals of one-dimensional (1-D) platinum chain compound, bis(1,2-benzoquinonedioximato)platinum(II), Pt(bqd)2. The device with the channel along Pt chains shows n-type field-effect properties with a mobility of as large as 0.2 cm2/V s under atmospheric conditions.
