Azulene is noteworthy for its deep blue color with a large dipole moment. Compared to other unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbons, azulenes show unique photophysical and electrical properties. Herein, two isomers of 1, 4, 5, 8-naphthalene diimide (NDI) endcapped with ethynylazulene units (1 and 2) are presented, which are capped with five-membered and seven-membered rings of azulene moieties, respectively. It is interesting that these two compounds show remarkably different physicochemical properties, thermal stabilities and organic field-effect transistors (OFET) performance resulting from the different connections of an electron-rich five-membered ring and an electron-poor seven-membered ring. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy of 2 (endcapped with 6-ethynylalzulene) is lower than that of 1 (endcapped with 2-ethynylalzulene), and 2 makes the electrons of LUMO more delocalized, which favor the overlap of LUMO between molecules, thus to obtain higher mobility for 2. OFETs based on thin films of these two isomers were fabricated with conventional spin-coated techniques. Under nitrogen atmosphere, 1 and 2 show n-type semiconducting properties with electron mobilities of up to 0.022 and 0.16 cm²·V^-1·s^-1, respectively, which is consistent with the DFT results.
