The invention provides 1,3,5-tris(arylamino)benzenes represented by the
general formula (I) ##STR00001## wherein A is naphthyl, anthryl or
phenanthryl group, and R is hydrogen atom or diarylamino group.These
1,3,5-tris(arylamino)benzenes have oxidation potentials in the range of
about 0.5-0.6V, excellent reversibility in oxidation-reduction process,
high glass transition temperatures and high heat resistance, so that they
can form practicable organic semiconductor film readily by a coating
method or a vacuum deposition method. 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.
