Realizing p-channel semiconducting polymers with good hole mobility, solution processibility, and air stability is an important step forward in the chemical manipulation of charge transport in polymeric solids and in the development of low-cost printed electronics. We report here the synthesis and full characterization of the dithienosilole- and dibenzosilole-based homopolymers, poly(4,4-di-n-hexyldithienosilole) (TS6) and poly(9,9-di-n- octyldibenzosilole) (BS8), and their mono- and bithiophene copolymers, poly(4,4-di-n-hexyldithienosilole-alt-(bi)thiophene) (TS6T1, TS6T2) and poly(9,9-di-n-octyldibenzosilole-alt-(bi)thiophene) (BS8T1,BS8T2), and examine in detail the consequences of introducing dithienosilole and dibenzosilole cores into a thiophene polymer backbone. We demonstrate air-stable thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated under ambient conditions having hole mobilities as large as 0.08 cm2/V·s, low turn-on voltages, and current on/off ratios > 106. Additionally, unencapsulated TFTs fabricated under ambient conditions are air-stable, an important advance over regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based devices. Density functional theory calculations provide detailed insight into the polymer physicochemical and charge transport characteristics. A direct correlation between the hole injection barrier and both TFT turn-on voltage and TFT polymer hole mobility is identified and discussed, in combination with thin-film morphological characteristics, to explain the observed OTFT performance trends.

Understanding the interrelationships between molecular structure and organic thin film transistor performance is key to the realization of novel organic semiconductors achieving superior device characteristics. Herein we report the synthesis, characterization, and charge-transporting properties in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) of dithieno silole-based oligomers and copolymers having silacycloalkyl substituents. Silacyclization of the alkyl substituents on the silole silicon atom reduces steric encumbrance, contracts solid state intermolecular π-π contacts, and enhances the charge-transport capacity of the oligomers. Oligomer 3,3′-dihexylsilylene-2,2′:5, 2′′:5′,2′′′:5′′, 2′′′′:5′′′,2′′′ ′′-sexithiophene (SM5) with two Si-n-hexyl substituents is not FET-active, while the mobilities of 3,3′-cyclopentanylsilylene-2,2′: 5,2′′:5′,2′′′:5′′, 2′′′′:5′′′,2′′′ ′′′-sexithiophene (SM4) and 3,3′-cyclobutysilylene-2, 2′:5,2′′:5′,2′′′:5′′, 2′′′′:5′′′,2′′′ ′′-sexithiophene (SM3) FETs are 2.6 × 10-4 and 3.4 × 10-4 cm2/(V s), respectively. Single crystal structural data and melting point derived intermolecular packing trends parallel these FET results. Copolymers P1-P4 based on the same dithienosilole cycloalkyl cores exhibit optimized hole mobilities of 2 × 10-5, 6 × 10-4, 3 × 10-4, and 2 × 10-3 cm2/V?s, respectively, lower than that of analogous silole-containing polymers with long Si-alkyl substituents, implying that the solubilizing and self-assembly functions of Si-alkyl substituents are important for optimizing the mobility. Interestingly, copolymer [poly{[N,N′-bis(2- octyl-dodecyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenedicarboximide-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5′-(3, 3′-cyclopentanylsilylene-2,2′-bithiophene (P5) films are the most ordered and exhibit a good electron mobility of 4 × 10-3 cm2/V?s after thermal annealing. All of these OFETs exhibit good ambient-stability, which is attributed to their low-lying HOMOs (>0.2 eV lower than that of P3HT), a consequence of introducing silole cores into polythiophene backbones.

Three new building blocks containing the electron-donor fused-ring motifs carbazole, dithienosilole (DTS) and dithienopyrrole (DTP) and the 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine electron-acceptor motif were designed and synthesized. Directed by transition metal ions, the self-assembly of the building blocks triggered polymerization to form the corresponding metallo-supramolecular polymers PCzTPY, PSiTPY and PNTPY, respectively. The UV-vis absorption maxima of the building blocks occur at long wavelengths (351, 368 and 430 nm for CzTPY, SiTPY and NTPY, respectively), which arises from intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transitions. However, the absorption maxima of their corresponding metallo-supramolecular polymers are clearly red-shifted (to 394, 431 and 509 nm for PCzTPY, PSiTPY and PNTPY, respectively), which is caused by the incorporation of the transition metal ion into the backbones of the target polymers. Based on the above strategies, the resulting metallo-polymers exhibit reduced energy gaps, which are 2.07, 1.97 and 1.56 eV for the PCzTPY, PSiTPY and PNTPY metallo-supramolecular polymers, respectively.

A series of photoactive conjugated low band-gap copolymer (CPSB) and terpolyemrs (TPSBCz-n, n = 1 to 4) based on N-alkyl carbazole, 4,4'-dialkyl dithienosilole, and bezothiadiazole were synthesized. The copolymer and terpolymers were built with the fraction of the carbazole unit varied for 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 25 mol%. Among the mixtures, the composition of 25 wt% of terpolymer bearing 10 mol.% of the carbazole unit, TPSBCz-3, and 75 wt% of C71-PCBM found a power conversion efficiency of 0.86% with a open-circuit voltage of 0.59 V, the short-circuit current of 4.85 mA and fill factor of 0.30 under AM 1.5 spectral illumination. Our findings suggest that terpolymer bearing low concentration of carbazole lead to a high power conversion efficiency with improved the short-circuit current due to hole mobility enhancement effect of carbazole unit.

Single-molecule junctions that are sensitive to compression or elongation are an emerging class of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Although the molecule–electrode interface can be engineered to impart such functionality, most studies to date rely on poorly defined interactions. We focused on this issue by synthesizing molecular wires designed to have chemically defined hemilabile contacts based on (methylthio)thiophene moieties. We measured their conductance as a function of junction size and observed conductance changes of up to two orders of magnitude as junctions were compressed and stretched. Localised interactions between weakly coordinating thienyl sulfurs and the electrodes are responsible for the observed effect and allow reversible monodentate?bidentate contact transitions as the junction is modulated in size. We observed an up to ≈100-fold sensitivity boost of the (methylthio)thiophene-terminated molecular wire compared with its non-hemilabile (methylthio)benzene counterpart and demonstrate a previously unexplored application of hemilabile ligands to molecular electronics.

Substituted bithiophenes are prominent fragments in functional organic materials, and they are ideally prepared via direct oxidative C-H/C-H coupling. Here, we report a novel PdII catalyst system, employing 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phd) as the ancillary ligand, that enables aerobic oxidative homocoupling of 2-bromothiophenes and other related heterocycles. These observations represent the first use of phd to support Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation. The reaction also benefits from a Cu(OAc)2 cocatalyst, and mechanistic studies show that Cu promotes C-C coupling, implicating a role for CuII different from its conventional contribution to reoxidation of the Pd catalyst.
