High-Performance n-type Organic Semiconductors: Incorporating Specific Electron-Withdrawing Motifs to Achieve Tight Molecular Stacking and Optimized Energy Levels
Novel pi-conjugated cyanostilbene-based semiconductors (Hex-3,5-TFPTA and Hex-4-TFPTA) with tight molecular stacking and optimized energy levels are synthesized. Hex-4-TFPTA exhibits high-performance n-type organic fi eldeffect transistor (OFET) properties with electron mobilities as high as 2.14 cm(2) V(-1)s(-1) and on-off current ratios > 10(6).
