A promising way to modify the electronic levels of organic semiconductors is partial or complete fluorination.
Rubrene (C42H28) has been shown to be a suitable semiconductor for applications, for which numerous experimental efforts have been done.
In this study, we present thin films of partly (C42H14F14) and completely (C42F28) fluorinated rubrene.
For the first time we investigated thin films of these materials grown on a native SiO2 substrate using optical spectroscopy, complementary X-ray reflectivity and AFM.
The materials grow to a large extent amorphously and exhibit a smooth surface.
However, depending on the growth parameters the molecules can form ordered, dendritic structures that extend on a micrometer scale.
The variation of the HOMO-LUMO transition with fluorination is discussed.
