The invention provides 1,3,5-tris(arylamino)benzenes represented by the
general formula (I) ##STR00001## wherein A is naphthyl, anthryl,
phenanthryl, biphenylyl or terphenylyl group, and R is alkyl having 1 6
carbon atoms or cycloalkyl group having five or six carbon atoms.The
1,3,5-tris(arylamino)benzenes have oxidation potentials in the range of
about 0.5 0.6V, excellent reversibility in oxidation-reduction process
and high glass transition temperatures and in addition, they are capable
of forming stable and durable amorphous film useful as high performance
organic semiconductors at normal temperatures or higher with no aid of
binder resins, that is, by themselves.
