Self-Doping Naphthalene Diimide Conjugated Polymers for Flexible Unipolar n-Type OTFTs

Pinyu Chen et al.

Summary: This study reports the use of self-doped conjugated polymers in flexible thin-film transistors (OTFTs), which enables high unipolar n-type charge mobility, as well as good operational/ambient stability and bending resistance. New conjugated polymers PNDI2T-NM17 and PNDI2T-NM50 with different self-doping groups are designed and synthesized. The results show that the self-doped PNDI2T-NM17-based flexible OTFTs exhibit high charge-carrier properties and stability due to the appropriate doping level and intermolecular interactions.

Synthesis of Asymmetric Benzotrithiophene/Benzotriselenophene Building Blocks and Their Donor-Acceptor Copolymers: Chalcogen Effect on Face-on/Edge-on Orientations and Charge Transport

Ching-Li Huang et al.

Summary: Two asymmetric 5-octadecanyl benzotrithiophene (BTT) and benzotriselenophene (BTS) were synthesized and polymerized with a DPP comonomer by Stille coupling to form two new donor-acceptor polymers, PBTTDPP and PBTSDPP. PBTSDPP exhibited a more red-shifted absorption than PBTTDPP due to the chalcogen effect of selenium. The crystal structures of PBTTDPP and PBTSDPP were analyzed, and the correlation lengths of the π-π stacking and lamellar stacking were calculated.

An In-Situ Cyanidation Strategy To Access Tetracyanodiacenaphthoanthracene Diimides with High Electron Mobilities Exceeding 10 cm2 V-1 s-1

Zeng Wu et al.

Summary: A series of novel highly π-extended tetracyano-substituted acene diimides (TCDADIs) were synthesized using a simple four-fold Knoevenagel condensation strategy. These compounds have a large π-conjugated backbone and in-situ formation of four cyano substituents, avoiding extra cyano-functionalization reactions. TCDADIs with different N-alkyl substituents exhibit good solubility, near-coplanar backbones, good crystallinity, and low-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, leading to desirable electron-transport performance in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The highest electron mobility of an OFET based on a 2-hexyldecyl-substituted TCDADI single crystal reaches 12.6 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), which is among the highest values for reported n-type organic semiconductor materials (OSMs).

n-Type Organic and Polymeric Semiconductors Based on Bithiophene Imide Derivatives

Kui Feng et al.

Summary: In the last three decades, there has been significant progress in p-type organic and polymeric semiconductors, while development in n-type analogues has been limited by the scarcity of highly electron-deficient building blocks. Imide-functionalized arenes, such as NDI and PDI, have shown promise in developing n-type semiconductors, but face challenges like steric hindrance and backbone distortion. Designing novel imide-functionalized heteroarenes like BTI, and optimizing their structure, has led to the development of high-performance n-type semiconductors with suppressed FMO levels.
