Intramolecular BO-chelated azadipyrromethenes are promising organic semiconductors. Here, we evaluated the electron and hole mobility of a series of BO-chelated azadipyrromethenes using the Space Charge Limited Current(SCLC) method. In order to determine the mobility of the material, Mott Gurney's law was applied using the film thickness and slope of the J1/2 versus voltage plot in the SCLC graph. The best electron mobility observed for BO-chelated materials is 4.64—10-6 cm2V-1s-1 and the best hole mobility is 7.38—10-4 cm2V-1s-1. These results suggest that BO-chelated materials are promising p-type semiconductors for electronic applications.
