High Performance Solution Processed Organic Field Effect Transistors with Novel Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Containing Small Molecules

Abstract The donor-acceptor (D-A)-type diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based small molecules (LGC-D117 and LGC-D118) were synthesized and used as the active layer of solution-processable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Both LGC-D117 and LGC-D118 contain silaindacenodithiophene as electron-donor...

Sumario:Abstract The donor-acceptor (D-A)-type diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based small molecules (LGC-D117 and LGC-D118) were synthesized and used as the active layer of solution-processable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Both LGC-D117 and LGC-D118 contain silaindacenodithiophene as electron-donor units with DPP as an electron-accepting linker, and octylrhodanine as the electron-accepting end group. The molecules were functionalized with different side chains to study their effects on OFET characteristics. LGC-D117 has a simple branched alkyl side chain, whereas LGC-D118 features a bulky siloxane-terminated hybrid alkyl chain. The siloxane side chains of LGC-D118 account for its better crystallinity, leading to significantly high field-effect mobility (max 3.04 cm2 V−1 s−1). In particular, LGC-D118 is well soluble and sustains the high mobility in the environmentally friendly 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solvent with low temperature annealing at 100 °C due to the bulky siloxane-terminated alkyl side chain.
