A liquid crystalline organic compound which gives a liquid crystal phase in a temperature range containing at least a room temperature and can exhibit a high charge mobility; an organic semiconductor structure and an organic semiconductor device each having the liquid crystalline organic compound are provided.
The liquid crystalline organic compound contains any one of benzothiazole, benzoselenazole, benzoxazole and indene skeletons represented by the following chemical formula 1:
wherein A is a nitrogen atom or a CH group, and B is a sulfur, selenium or oxygen atom is contained as Z1 in the following chemical formula 2:
R1-Y1-Z1-Y2-R2 2
wherein, R1 and R2 are each independently a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon of a straight chain, a branched chain or a cyclic structure having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; R1 and R2 may be each independently bonded directly to Z1 without interposing Y1 or Y2 therebetween; and Y1 and Y2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of oxygen and selenium atoms and —CO—, —OCO—, —COO—, —N═CH—, —CONH—, —NH—, —NHCOO and —CH2 groups.
