Narrow band-gap donor-acceptor copolymers based on diketopyrrolopyrrole and diphenylethene: Synthesis, characterization and application in field effect transistor

摘要

Three low band-gap diketopyrrolopyrrole based polymers with varying donor groups of furan, thiophene and phenyl were synthesized and then copolymerized with diphenylethene. We investigate the influence of different donor groups and comonomers on the band-gap and field effect transistors. The efficient synthesis of the diketopyrrolopyrrole based copolymers was clearly characterized by a variety of measurements. Two dimensional Grazing Incident X-ray Diffraction was measured to prove that furan and thiophene based copolymers have ordered edge-on structure. These copolymers exhibited strong it-it stacking and excellent hole mobilities when applied in the electric double layer field effect transistors. The high mobility of 236 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) with an on/off ratio of 10(3) was achieved. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
