We report the first synthesis of a soluble selenophene containing porphyrazine derivative, tetraselenophenoporphyrazine (SePz). Thin films of SePz exhibit a broad and strong absorption in the visible to near-IR region, which is red shifted compared to the thiophene analogue, and demonstrate p-type carrier mobilities of 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1 in bottom gate, bottom contact field effect transistors.
