Molecular order of air-stable p-type Organic Thin-Film Transistors by tuning the extension of the π-conjugated core: the cases of Indolo[3,2- b]carbazole and Triindole semiconductors

چکیده
Charge transport in organic devices depends strongly on the molecular order and morphology of the organic semiconductor thin films. In the design of new organic semiconductors, the selection of the appropriate core plays a key role in the molecular packing and charge transport characteristics of the organic device. Four derivatives of carbazole that mainly differ in the extension of the π-conjugated core, 10 including indolo[3,2-b]carbazole and triindole derivatives, exhibited hole mobilities ranging from 10 to 10 cmVs as active layers in Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFTs). X-ray analysis of single crystals and evaporated thin films gave insights into the molecular packing of the compounds that justified their OTFTs characteristics.

New triindole-based organic semiconductors: structure-property relationships
We introduce a new family of stable high-mobility organic π-type semiconductors based on the electron-rich 10,15dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole (triindole) extended π-conjugated system. This platform tends to form columnar stacks of the aromatic cores maximizing π-orbital overlap between adjacent molecules, thus paving the way for the one-dimensional migration of charge carriers alo...

Bottom-gate bottom-contact organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were prepared with four novel star-shaped conjugated molecules containing a fused thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moiety incorporated either in the core and/or at the periphery of the molecular framework. The molecules were soluble in CS₂, allowing for solution-processing techniques to be employed. OTFTs with different channel geometries w...

Two thiophene-phenylene semiconductors, bis(2-phenylethynyl) end-substituted oligothiophenes (diPhAc-nTs, n = 2, 3), were synthesized and studied with respect to their optical, electrochemical, structural and electrical properties. The optical and electrochemical properties of the oligomers in solution were investigated by UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and cyclic volta...

End-substitution of quarterthiophene and sexithiophene with hexyl groups leads to highly soluble conjugated oligomers, -dihexylquarterthiophene (DH-4T) and -dihexylsexithiophene (DH-6T). We have characterized these oligomers for optical and electrical properties. We fabricated an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using the above two air-stable p-type organic semiconductor materials. We obtain...
