Planarized Star-Shaped Oligothiophenes with Enhanced π-Electron Delocalization

(Matrix presented) Planarized star-shaped oligothiophenes 1 have been synthesized by connecting short-chain oligothiophenes on a benzo[1,2-b:3,4- b′:5,6-b″]-trithiophene central core. Their electrochemical and optical properties have been characterized by cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy, respectively. These results associated with theoretical calculations show the advantage of benzotrithiophene as a central core in terms of π-electron delocalization.

Synthesis and characterization of novel p-type alkyl bithiophene end-capped anthracene and naphthalene derivatives for organic thin-film transistors

New semiconductors having naphthalene and anthracene cores with hexylated bithiophene side units, 2,6-bis(5'-hexylbithiophen-2'-yl)naphthalene (HBT-NA) and 2,6-bis(5'-hexylbithiophen-2'-yl)anthracene (HBT-AN), were synthesized. HBT-AN and HBT-NA were characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectrum and elemental analysis. HBT-AN and HBT-NA showed well ordered crystalline with high thermal stabilities as evidenced by 5% weight loss at 447 °C for HBT-AN and 434 °C for HBT-NA. The closed packed structures between adjacent molecules were observed by studying UV-visible and photoluminescence (PL) in solution and film. The HOMO energy levels of HBT-NA and HBT-AN were found to be 5.47 eV and 5.42 eV, respectively. HBT-NA exhibits hole mobility of 8.4×10-2 cm2/Vs and on/off ratio of 5.6×105. HBT-AN shows 5.2×10-2 cm 2/Vs and on/off ratio of 1.0×105. Copyright

Efficient spirobifluorene-core electron-donor material for application in solution-processed organic solar cells

Efficient spirobifluorene-based organic small molecule (RTh-Sp-CF3) was synthesized in a simple manner via Suzuki coupling reaction containing an alkyl bithiophene as donor and 3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl) benzene as acceptor unit. The spirobifluorene-based small molecule was utilized as an electron-donor materials with well-known electron-acceptor material, phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) in the solution-processed small molecule organic solar cells (SMOSCs). The incorporation of 3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl) benzene unit as electron-acceptor has significantly tuned the energy levels of small molecule and obtained the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of ?5.35?eV and ?3.92?eV, respectively. SMOSCs fabricated with RTh-Sp-CF3 accomplished an overall power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ～2.12% with short circuit current (JSC) of ～8.42?mA/cm2 and the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of ～0.66?V. The reasonable JSC and VOC of devices might be attributed to the presence of strong electron-withdrawing fluorine units in RTh-Sp-CF3, which resulted from the improved absorption and electrochemical properties.

Oligoselenophenes (n and p Type): Synthesis and Properties

An array of semiconducting oligoselenophenes (n and p types), up to hexamer units, has been synthesized by the double Stille coupling methods using tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) as a catalyst. A series of semiconducting oligomers (n and p types) containing mixed hetero-units (hexamers of thiophene and selenophene) have been also synthesized using the Stille coupling reaction. Their thermal properties are systematically studied and compared with those of π-conjugated thiophene based oligomers using DSC and TGA. The field-effect mobility of synthesized n and p type oligomers is analyzed.

A new method of using supercritical carbon dioxide as a green solvent for synthesis and purification of 5,5?-bis(tridecafluorohexyl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2?-quaterthiophene, which is one of n-type organic semiconducting materials

We have investigated synthesis as well as purification of 5,5?-bis(tridecafluorohexyl)-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2?-quaterthiophene (BFH-4 T, n-type organic semiconducting material) using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a green solvent. BFH-4T was obtained in good selectivity and high yield by TDAE/PdCl2-catalyzed reductive coupling reaction of 5-bromo-5′-(tridecafluorohexyl)-2,2′-bithiophene in scCO2. We have also successfully established purification of the reaction mixture by passing scCO2 in the reaction vessel. The product was yellow powder of BFH-4T with purity of more than 99% and Pd catalyst was not contained.
