The invention relates to an electronic device comprising a compound having Formula (1): ABx (1), wherein A is a structural
moiety that consists of at least two atoms and comprises a
conjugated system of delocalized electrons, each B is independently selected from an
imine functional group (1a), wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 are independently selected from C1-C30
alkyl, C2-C30 alkenyl, C2-C3 alkinyl, C3-C30 cycloalkyl, C6-C30
aryl, C2-C30 heteroaryl, C7-C30 arylalkyl, C3-C30 heteroarylalkyl, the wave line represents a
covalent bond to the
imine nitrogen atom, G is in each group (1a) independently selected from a quarternary
carbon atom and from a cyclopropenylidene structural
moiety, x is an integer equal one or higher, preferably equal two or higher, and the
lone electron pair of the
imine nitrogen atom and / or the pi-electrons of the imine
double bond of at least one group B is conjugated with the
conjugated system of delocalized electrons comprised in the structural
moiety A, with the proviso that two or more of the substituents R1, R2, R3, R4 may be connected to form a ring that may contain also unsaturation and, if any of the substituents R1, R2, R3, R4 comprises two or more carbon atoms, up to one third of the overall count of the carbon atoms in the
substituent or in any ring formed by two connected substituents can be replaced with heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, N and B as well as to an electrically semiconducting material and a compound for use in the electronic device.
