This study successfully designed liquid-crystalline dendrimers with donor triphenylene as the peripheral discotic mesogen and acceptor fullerene as the dendrimer core, achieving heterojunction ambipolar charge-transport columnar materials. The resulting donor-acceptor segregated columnar materials exhibit ambipolar charge-transport behavior with high mobilities for both holes and electrons.
Liquid-crystalline dendrimers with donor triphenylene as the peripheral discotic mesogen and acceptor fullerene as the dendrimer core have been designed and synthesized with the aim of achieving heterojunction ambipolar charge-transport columnar materials. While the low-generation fullerene-core discotic liquid-crystalline dendrimers self-organize into a lamellar structure, the co-assembled mixtures through blending with a low-molar-mass triphenylene derivative successfully form hierarchical columnar superstructures with segregated stacking of the triphenylene discs and fullerene moieties in discrete columns. Such donor-acceptor segregated columnar materials exhibit ambipolar charge-transport behavior, with rather high mobilities reaching 0.012 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for holes and 0.005 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for electrons, as measured by the time-of-flight (TOF) technique. The present work provides a simple and versatile approach for the design of ambipolar conductive columnar liquid-crystalline hybrid dendrimer materials that are promising for organic electronic applications.
