Versatile nature of anthanthrone based polymers as active multifunctional semiconductors for various organic electronic devices

Abstract

The versatility of anthanthrone-based materials in organic electronics is exploited by synthesizing four polymers, PANT, PANT-TBO, PANT-TBT, and PANT-TffBT. PANT represents the self-coupled homopolymer, while the other three are D-A...

Tailoring the molecular weight of polymer additives for organic semiconductors

“…In recent years, research in flexible electronics has unveiled rapid progress [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Great efforts have been demonstrated to study the solvent choices, controllable crystallization, charge carrier mobilities, and organic electronic device applications of solution-processed smallmolecular organic semiconductors, such as 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) [12][13][14][15][16][17], 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno [3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C 8 -BTBT) [18][19][20][21], 2,5di-(2-ethylhexyl)-3,6-bis(5''-n-hexyl-2,2',5',2'']terthiophen-5-yl)-pyrrolo [3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (SMDPPEH) [22][23][24] and 2,8-difluoro-5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (diF-TES-ADT) [25][26][27][28].…”

2,9-Dibenzo[b,def]chrysene as a building block for organic electronics

“…1,2,3 In fact, many of them possess synthetic handles like halogens and ketone that allow easy chemical functionalization and modifications of their electronic properties. Recently, vat orange 3 (4,10dibromoanthanthrone) has been used as the starting material for several -conjugated molecules and polymers for multiple applications, including field-effect transistor, [4][5][6][7] light-emitting diodes, 8,9 aggregation-induced emission (AIE), 10 solar cells [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and singlet fission. 18,19 This dye showed good versatility as it can be functionalized at the 4, 6, 10 and 12 positions to yield materials with a wide range of properties.…”

Structural Geometry Variation of 1,4-Naphthalene-Based Co-Polymers to Tune the Device Performance of PVK-Host-Based OLEDs

“…The OLED device fabricated with poly-TF through the spin-coating method showed a pure blue emission, demonstrating the huge potential of TF to construct emissive materials for OLEDs. Another building block we are interested in is the anthanthrone (ANT), which is a very promising building block in organic electronics because of its ultra-large fused-ring π structure [ 27 , 28 ]. In our group, we have developed ANT-based materials for various electronic devices, including perovskite solar cells, organic photovoltaic devices, thin film transistors, and chemical sensors [ 27 , 29 ].…”
