Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 25Triisopropylsilylethynyl-Substituted Indenofluorenes: Carbonyl Versus Dicyanovinylene Functionalization in One-Dimensional Molecular Crystals and Solution-Processed N-Channel Ofets(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018) Ozdemir, Resul; Park, Sangyun; Deneme, Ibrahim; Park, Yonghan; Zorlu, Yunus; Alidagi, Husniye Ardic; Usta, HakanThe design and synthesis of novel electron-deficient and solution-processable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons offers great opportunities for the development of low-cost and large-area (opto)electronics. Although (trialkylsilyl)ethynyl (R3Si-C?C-) has emerged as a very popular unit to solubilize organic semiconductors, it has been applied only to a limited class of materials that are mostly substituted on short molecular axes. Herein, two novel solution-processable indenofluorene-based semiconductors, TIPS-IFDK and TIPS-IFDM, bearing (triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl end units at 2,8-positions (long molecular axis substitution) were synthesized, and their single-crystal structures, optoelectronic properties, solution-sheared thin-film morphologies/microstructures, and n-channel field-effect responses were studied. In accordance with the DFT calculations, the HOMO/LUMO energies of the new compounds are found to be -5.77/-3.65 eV and -5.84/-4.18 eV for TIPS-IFDK and TIPS-IFDM, respectively, reflecting the high electron deficiency of the new -backbones. Both semiconductors exhibit slightly S-shaped molecular frameworks with highly coplanar IFDK/IFDM -cores, and they form slipped -stacked one-dimensional (1-D) columnar motifs in the solid state. However, substantial differences in the degree of - interactions and stacking distances (4.04 angstrom vs. 3.47 angstrom) were observed between TIPS-IFDK and TIPS-IFDM as a result of carbonyl vs. dicyanovinylene functionalization, which results in a three orders of magnitude variation in the charge carrier mobility of the corresponding thin films. Top-contact/bottom-gate OFETs fabricated via solution-shearing TIPS-IFDM yielded one of the best performances in the (trialkylsilyl)ethynyl literature ((e) = 0.02 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), I-on/I-off = 10(7)-10(8), and V-T approximate to 2 V under ambient atmosphere) for a 1-D polycrystalline semiconductor microstructure. To the best of our knowledge, the molecules presented here are the first examples of n-type semiconductors substituted with (trialkylsilyl)ethynyl groups on their long molecular axes.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Stochastic Orientational Encoding via Hydrogen Bonding Driven Assembly of Woven-Like Molecular Physically Unclonable Functions(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-07-02) Kayaci, Nilgun; Kiremitler, Nuri Burak; Deneme, Ibrahim; Kalay, Mustafa; Ozbasaran, Aleyna; Zorlu, Yunus; Usta, HakanThe prevention of counterfeiting and the assurance of object authenticity require stochastic encoding schemes based on physically unclonable functions (PUFs). There is an urgent need for exceptionally large encoding capacities and multi-level responses within a molecularly defined, single-material system. Herein, a novel stochastic orientational encoding approach is demonstrated using a facile ambient-atmosphere solution processing of a molecular thin film based on the rod-shaped oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) pi-architecture. The nanoscopic film, derived from the small molecule 2EHO-CF3PyPE with donor, acceptor, and pi-spacer building units, is designed for energetically favorable uniaxial molecular assembly and crystal growth via directional multiple hydrogen-bonding motifs at the molecular termini and short C & horbar;H<middle dot><middle dot><middle dot>pi contacts at the center. A facile solvent vapor annealing induces concurrent dewetting and microscopic 1D random crystallization, yielding a woven-textured random features. Using convolutional neural networks, the rich variations in microcrystal domain properties and stochastic encoding of 1D crystal orientations generate artificial coloration, achieving an encoding capacity reaching (6.5 x 10(4))(2752 x 2208). The results demonstrate an effective strategy for achieving ultrahigh encoding capacities in a thin film composed of a single-material. This approach enables low-cost, solution-processed fabrication for mass production and broad adoption, while opening new opportunities to explore molecular-PUFs through structural design and engineering noncovalent interactions.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 15Engineering Functionalized Low LUMO [1]Benzothieno[3,2-B][1]Benzothiophenes (BTBTs): Unusual Molecular and Charge Transport Properties(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2020) Ozdemir, Resul; Ahn, Kyunghan; Deneme, Ibrahim; Zorlu, Yunus; Kim, Dojun; Kim, Myung-Gil; Usta, HakanDiacene-fused thienothiophenes (DAcTTs) have provided an excellent pi-framework for the development of high mobility p-type molecular semiconductors in the past decade. However, n-type DAcTTs are rare and their electron transport characteristics remain largely unexplored. Herein, a series of functionalized low LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT)-based small molecules, D(C7CO)-BTBT, C7CO-BTBT-CC(CN)(2)C-7, and D(C7CC(CN)(2))-BTBT, have been developed. Detailed structural, physicochemical, optoelectronic, and single-crystal characterization were performed. The new molecules exhibit large optical band gaps (similar to 2.8-3.1 eV) and highly stabilized (-Delta E-LUMO = 1.2-1.4 eV)/pi-delocalized LUMOs as compared to p-type DAcTTs. Symmetric functionalization is found to be important to enable strong intermolecular interactions in the solid-state. All molecules exhibit alternately stacked layers of "F-BTBT-F" and "S" (F: functional group/S: substituent) with strong herringbone-like interactions (2.8-3.6 angstrom distances) between pi-cores. While carbonyls, regardless of the substituent, adopt nearly coplanar pi-backbones with BTBT, dicyanovinylenes are found to be twisted (47.5 degrees). The conformational difference at the molecular level has unusual effects on the pi-electron deficiencies, frontier molecular orbital energetics, thermal/photophysical properties, and pi-electronic structures. Dicyanovinylenes at the 2,7 positions, despite twisted conformations, are shown for the first time to yield good electron transport in DAcTTs. The D(C7CC(CN)(2))-BTBT thin film exhibits large 2D plate-like crystalline grains (similar to 1-2 mu m sizes) of terraced islands and becomes a rare example of an n-type DAcTT in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Although a stabilized/pi-delocalized LUMO, largely governed by functional groups and intramolecular twists, is essential for electron transport, our findings suggest that it should be combined with proper substituents to yield a favorable three-dimensional BTBT/functional group pi-electronic structure and a low intramolecular reorganization energy. Combined with our first n-type DAcTT semiconductor D(PhFCO)-BTBT, a molecular library with systematically varied chemical structures has been studied herein for the first time for low LUMO DAcTTs. The molecular engineering perspectives presented in this study may give unique insights into the design of novel electron transporting thienoacenes for unconventional optoelectronics.
