However, the current majority of 2D OSCs rely on planar, high-aspect-ratio, \u03c0-conjugated systems decorated in-plane with peripheral alkyl chains. Herein, we prepare 2D OSC-based OTFTs via blade coating of a recent material with a unique topology, isoSiPc, which combines a silicon phthalocyanine core with siloxane solubilizing chains that pass through the center of the \u03c0-conjugated core. We demonstrate that blade speed provides precise control over film morphology, crystallite texture, and in-plane alignment. Remarkably, we observe a blade-speed-dependent reorientation of crystallites within the film, directly correlating with device performance. At the optimal blade speed, an average hole mobility of 0.22 cm2V\u20131s\u20131 is achieved. Furthermore, application of our recently developed iodine post treatment enhances the average mobility to 0.44 cm2V\u20131s\u20131, with a champion device reaching 0.70 cm2V\u20131s\u20131. These results establish isoSiPc as a promising and structurally distinct 2D OSC platform, expanding the molecular design space and demonstrating a viable route toward high-performance, solution-processed organic electronics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsami.6c15134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,26]],"date-time":"2026-09-26T19:01:16Z","timestamp":1790449276000},"page":"53730-53739","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Beyond Conventional 2D Organic Semiconductors: Blade-Coated isoSiPc Thin Films with Tunable Crystalline Alignment for Organic Thin-Film Transistors"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8603-0507","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Ledos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 161 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]},{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 150 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1722-2024","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Arnaud","family":"Hemmerle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Synchrotron SOLEIL , L\u2019Orme des Merisiers, D\u00e9partementale 128 , ,","place":["Saint-Aubin, France, 91190"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Karlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 161 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9962-140X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Joseph","family":"Manion","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 161 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9959-2015","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jaclyn L.","family":"Brusso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 150 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9863-7039","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Beno\u00eet H.","family":"Lessard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 161 Louis Pasteur , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]},{"name":"University of Ottawa , , 800 King Edward Ave. , , ,","place":["Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1N 6N5"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"2026100705071204400_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"963","DOI":"10.1038\/s41928-023-01095-8","article-title":"Thin-Film Transistors for Large-Area Electronics","volume":"6","author":"Geng","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nat.
