57. The devices were degraded gradually under ambient conditions, probably owing to the low oxidation potentials (i.e., high HOMO levels) of 3-7. See Supporting Information.
58. Poor FET characteristics can be ascribed to the less-ordered molecular array in the evaporated thin film of 2. See Supporting Information.
59. FET characteristics of P3HT-based devices similarly fabricated are available in the Supporting Information.
