Design and synthesis of high performance π-conjugated materials through antiaromaticity and quinoid strategy for organic field-effect transistors

摘要

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have received significant interest due to potential applications from low-cost active circuit to wearable health care devices. Organic semiconductors as one of the key components in OFETs have drawn great attentions during last decades. Among them, antiaromatic and quinoidal materials have become the most intensively studied semiconductors. Therefore, this review describes the chemical structures and efficiency characteristics of pi-conjugated materials through antiaromaticity and quinoid strategy for OFETs. In addition, rational designs and synthetic methods for these materials will be summarized, and a practical guideline for accelerating the development of high-performance semiconducting materials and devices will be provided.
