BN-Anthracene for High-Mobility Organic Optoelectronic Materials through Periphery Engineering

Wanhui Li et al.

Summary: We have successfully developed high-mobility organic semiconductors based on BN-PAHs through the periphery engineering strategy. One particular BN-PAH, DPBNA, showed remarkable performance in organic field-effect transistors with a hole mobility of 1.3 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), surpassing TPBNA and all previously reported BN-PAHs. Remarkably, this is the first BN-PAH with a mobility exceeding 1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), making it a benchmark for practical applications comparable to amorphous silicon. Additionally, high-performance phototransistors based on DPBNA were demonstrated, indicating the high potential of BN-PAHs for optoelectronic applications when the periphery engineering strategy is implemented.

High performance nonlinear optical materials with simple aromatic hydrocarbons

Cui-Cui Yang et al.

Summary: Designing optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) functional materials with high-performance and high stability is crucial in the field of nonlinear optics. In this study, a new protocol is proposed to design such materials by manipulating the interactions among functional moieties. The pi-conjugation across benzene, naphthalene, and azulene, as well as the electronic structure retention of functional moieties, result in large second order NLO responses in azulene-based molecules. These molecules show strong NLO responses under external fields and hold promise as optoelectronic functional materials in the visible and near-infrared regions. The protocol used here can be extended to design other optico-electronic functional materials.
