    Understanding and Tailoring Excited State Properties in Solution-Processable Oligo(p-Phenyleneethynylene)s: Highly Fluorescent Hybridized Local and Charge Transfer Character via Experiment and Theory
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2021-10-13) Usta, Hakan; Cosut, Bunyemin; Alkan, Fahri
    Rod-shaped oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) offers an attractive p-framework for the development of solution-processable highly fluorescent molecules having tunable hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) excited states and (reverse) intersystem crossing ((R)ISC) channels. Herein, an HLCT oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) library was studied for the first time in the literature in detail systematically via experiment and theory. The design, synthesis, and full characterization of a new highly fluorescent (Phi(PL-solution) similar to 1) sky blue emissive 4',4 ''-((2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)-1,4-phenylene)bis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))bis(N,N-diphenyl-[1,1'-bi-phenyl]-4-amine) (2EHO-TPA-PE) was also reported. The new molecule consists of a D'-Ar-pi-D-pi-Ar-D' molecular architecture with an extended pi-spacer and no acceptor unit, and detailed structural, physicochemical, single-crystal, and optoelectronic characterizations were performed. A high solid-state quantum efficiency (Phi(PL-solution) similar to 0.8) was achieved as a result of suppressed exciton-phonon/vibronic couplings (no pi-pi interactions and multiple (14 per dimeric form) strong C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions). Strong solution-phase/solid-state dipole-dependent tunable excited state behavior (local excited (LE) -> HLCT -> charge transfer (CT)) and decay dynamics covering a wide spectral region were demonstrated, and the CT state was observed to be highly fluorescent despite extremely large Stokes shift (similar to 130 nm)/fwhm (similar to 125 nm) and significant charge separation (0.75 charge.nm). Employing the Lippert-Mataga model, along with detailed photophysical studies and TDDFT calculations, key relationships between molecular design-electronic structure-exciton characteristics were elucidated with regards to HLCT and hot exciton channel formations. The interstate coupling between CT and LE states and the interplay of this coupling with respect to medium polarity were explored. A key relationship between excited-state symmetry breaking process and the formation of HLCT state was discussed for TPA-ended rod-shaped OPE p-systems. (R)ISC-related delayed fluorescence (tau similar to 2-6 ns) processes were evident following the prompt decays (similar to 0.4-0.9 ns) both in the solution and in the solid-state. As a unique observation, the delayed fluorescence could be tuned and facilitated via small dielectric changes in the medium. Our results and the molecular engineering perspectives presented in this study may provide unique insights into the structural and electronic factors governing tunable excited state and hot-exciton channel formations in OPEs for (un)conventional solution-processed luminescence applications.

    A Solution-Processable Liquid-Crystalline Semiconductor for Low-Temperature Air-Stable N-Channel Field-Effect Transistors
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2017-02-22) Ozdemir, Resul; Choi, Donghee; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Kim, Hyekyoung; Kostakoglu, Sinem Tuncel; Erkartal, Mustafa; Usta, Hakan
    A new solution-processable and air-stable liquid-crystalline nchannel organic semiconductor (2,2'-(2,8-bis(5-(2-octyldodecyl) thiophen-2-yl) indeno[1,2-b] fluorene-6,12-diylidene) dimalononitrile, alpha,omega-2OD-TIFDMT) with donor-acceptor-donor (D-AD) pi conjugation has been designed, synthesized, and fully characterized. The new semiconductor exhibits a low LUMO energy (-4.19 eV) and a narrow optical bandgap (1.35 eV). The typical pseudo-focal-conic fan-shaped texture of a hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline (LC) phase was observed over a wide temperature range. The spin-coated semiconductor thin films show the formation of large (approximate to 0.5-1 mu m) and highly crystalline platelike grains with edge-on molecular orientations. Low-temperature-annealed (50 degrees C) top-contact/bottom-gate OFETs have provided good electron obility values as high as 0.11 cm(2) (Vs)(-1) and high I-on/I-off ratios of 10(7) to 10(8) with excellent ambient stability. This indicates an enhancement of two orders of magnitude (100 V) when compared with the b-substituted parent semiconductor, beta-DD-TIFDMT (2,2'-(2,8-bis(3-dodecylthiophen- 2-yl) indeno[1,2-b] fluorene-6,12-diylidene) dimalononitrile). The current rational alkyl-chain engineering route offers great advantages for D-A-D pi-core coplanarity in addition to maintaining good solubility in organic solvents, and leads to favorable optoelectronic/physicochemical characteristics. These remarkable findings demonstrate that alpha,omega-2OD-TIFDMT is a promising semiconductor material for the development of n-channel OFETs on flexible plastic substrates and LC-state annealing of the columnar liquid crystals can lower the electron mobility for transistor-type charge transport.
