AB - Star‐shaped molecules with pyrene‐containing π‐conjugated units linked by an organosilicon core (Py3Si and Py3C) were prepared and their applications to thin‐film transistors (TFTs) and photovoltaic cells were studied. Bottom‐contact type TFTs with spin‐coated films of the star‐shaped compounds as the active layers were prepared and the field‐effect mobility (µFET) and Ion/Ioff ratios were determined to be approximately 10−5 cm2 V−1 s−1 and 104, respectively. Photovoltaic properties of Py3Si and Py3C were studied in the cells, ITO–PEDOT‐PSS–Py3Si or Py3C‐PCBM–LiF–Al. Although the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the cells was only about 0.04%, they showed high open circuit voltages (Voc) of 0.8–0.9 V, indicating the high potential of this type of compound as a host material.
