Recent advances in the application of isoindigo derivatives in materials chemistry

Abstract

In this review, the data on the application of isoindigo derivatives in the chemistry of functional materials are analyzed and summarized. These bisheterocycles can be used in the creation of organic solar cells, sensors, lithium ion batteries as well as in OFET and OLED technologies. The potentials of the use of polymer structures based on isoindigo as photoactive component in the photoelectrochemical reduction of water, as matrix for MALDI spectrometry and in photothermal cancer therapy are also shown. Data published over the past 5 years, including works published at the beginning of 2021, are given.

Design, Synthesis, and Application in OFET of a Quinoxaline-Based D-A Conjugated Polymer

“…Since the first organic field-effect transistor (OFET) was successfully prepared by Tsumura with polythiophene in 1987, organic semiconductors have received more and more attention from the academic society due to their multi-advantages and potential applications such as low cost, ease of fabrication, and compatibility with flexible substrates ( Tsumura et al, 1986 ; Bogdanov and Mironov, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2020 ; Yoon et al, 2017 ; Zhang et al, 2018 ). In the past few years, OFETs have made significant achievements in charge carrier mobility, open-circuit voltage (V oc ), and current on/off ratio.…”
