A new A1-A2 type polymer pDTDPP-TTF containing diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and 2-ethylhexyl-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (TTF) as the main electron-accepting building blocks has been synthesized via Suzuki cross-coupling polycondensation. The introduction of TTF as an additional electron-deficient unit significantly lowers the LUMO energy level of this DPP containing polymer to -4.37 eV which is beneficial for efficient electron injection and transport. The pDTDPP-TTF polymer shows an ultra narrow optical bandgap of 1.06 eV with a broad absorption spectra covering the visible to near infrared region of up to 1300 nm. Solution-processed OFET devices with pDTDPP-TTF as the active semiconducting layer have been fabricated with the configurations of both bottom-gate bottom-contact (BG-BC) and top-gate bottom-contact (TG-BC). The BG-BC devices with SiO2 as a dielectric exhibit ambipolar behavior with a hole and electron mobility of 1.85 × 10-4 and 3.55 × 10-5 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. Improved OFET performance has been achieved in TG-BC devices by using PMMA as the dielectric; balanced ambipolar charge transport is obtained with a hole and electron mobility of 6.17 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 and 3.13 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, our work is among the very few examples of ultra-low bandgap semiconducting polymers with balanced ambipolar charge transport properties.

A series of copolymers containing the benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]bis(thiazole) (BBT) unit has been designed and synthesised with bisthienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), dithienopyrrole (DTP), benzothiadiazole (BT), benzodithiophene (BDT) or 4,4′-dialkoxybithiazole (BTz) comonomers. The resulting polymers possess a conjugation pathway that is orthogonal to the more usual substitution pathway through the 2,6-positions of the BBT unit, facilitating intramolecular non-covalent interactions between strategically placed heteroatoms of neighbouring monomer units. Such interactions enable a control over the degree of planarity through altering their number and strength, in turn allowing for tuning of the band gap. The resulting 4,8-BBT materials gave enhanced mobility in p-type organic field-effect transistors of up to 2.16 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 for pDPP2ThBBT and good solar cell performance of up to 4.45% power conversion efficiency for pBT2ThBBT.
