By photochemically cross linking the molecules of a reactive end group functionalized calamitic liquid crystal (bis(heptylphenyl)-bithiophene-oxetane) in the smectic mesophase, an insoluble rigid molecular network is formed which remains structurally unchanged on cooling to room temperature. The charge transport is investigated by the time-of-flight method and the resulting material shows long-range (similar to 10 mu m) ambipolar transport with nondispersive field independent hole mobility, mu(hole)=0.016 cm(2)/V s and dispersive field dependent electron mobility, typically mu(electron)=0.028 cm(2)/V s (both at 4x10(4) V cm(-1) and at 15 degrees C). These desirable charge transport properties make this system a promising candidate for organic electronic applications, such as charge transport layers in organic light-emitting diodes and field effect transistors.
