Syntheses and Structures of Novel Heteroarene-Fused Coplanar π-Conjugated Chromophores
摘要:
We have synthesized a series of novel coplanar chromophores in which heteroarenes, namely, thiophene, benzothiophene, and carbazole, were fused to neighboring phenylene ring(s) through intramolecular annulation via sp(3)-hybridized carbon atoms bearing two p-tolyl groups as peripheral substituents. The molecular configurations of the d-conjugated backbones were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis; the heteroarene-fused molecular frameworks of these novel molecules exhibit nearly coplanar conformations.
The present invention discloses a soluble polythiophene derivative containing highly coplanar repeating units. The coplanar characteristic of the TPT (thiophene-phenylene-thiophene) units improves the degree of intramolecular conjugation and intermolecular π-π interaction. The polythiophene derivative exhibits good carrier mobility and is suitable for use in optoelectronic devices such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic solar cells (OSCs).
