Pentacene is a popular organic semi conductor. Upon deposition on any insulating substrate, the molecules organize to form polycrystalline films. The pentacene films show good transport properties. The hydrogen atoms which surround the carbon backbone are less electronegative than the carbon backbone itself and lend some electron density to the delocalized pi-electron cloud. It can also form large crystals.
