Triarylamine polymers can be rapidly assembled by microwave-assisted amination of aryldibromides. Polymers are reported with backbones contg. 4,4'-biphenyl, 2.9-fluorene and 3,6-carbazole repeating units. These polymers were used to fabricate org. field-effect transistors. The devices show very stable operation under ambient conditions and p-type mobilities up to 2.3 * 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1, close to the highest mobility reported to date for this class of amorphous semiconductors.
