Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Understanding 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, FahriRod-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.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 33Naphthalene Diimide-Based Polymeric Semiconductors. Effect of Chlorine Incorporation and N-Channel Transistors Operating in Water(Springer Heidelberg, 2016-03) Ryu, Gi-Seong; Chen, Zhihua; Usta, Hakan; Noh, Yong-Young; Facchetti, AntonioWe demonstrate here the design, synthesis and characterization of two new chlorinated polymers, P(NDI2HD-T2Cl2) and P(NDI2OD-T2Cl2) based on N,N-difunctionalized naphthalene diimide (NDI) and 3,3-dichloro-2,2-bithiophene (T2Cl2) moieties. Our results indicate that organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on these new chlorinated polymers exhibit electron mobilities approaching 0.1 cm(2)V(-1)s(-1) (I-on:I-off similar to 10(6)-10(7)), with far less ambipolarity due to their lower highest occupied molecular orbital energies, and they are more stable under deleterious high-humidity conditions (RH similar to 60%) and upon submersion in water, compared with those fabricated with the parent non-chlorinated polymers. In addition, OTFTs fabricated with the new chlorinated polymers exhibit excellent operational stabilities with <3% degradations upon bias-stress test.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Enhancement of Anhydrous Proton Conductivity of Poly(Vinylphosphonic Acid)-Poly(2,5 Membranes Via in Situ Polymerization(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2014-10-16) Sen, Unal; Usta, Hakan; Acar, Oktay; Citir, Murat; Canlier, Ali; Bozkurt, Ayhan; Ata, AliPolymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) are synthesized via in situ polymerization of vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) within a poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) matrix. The characterization of the membranes is carried out by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for the interpolymer interactions, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for the thermal properties, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the morphological properties. The physicochemical characterizations suggest the complexation between ABPBI and PVPA and the formation of homogeneous polymer blends. Proton conductivities in the anhydrous state (150 degrees C) measured by using impedance spectroscopy are considerable, at up to 0.001 and 0.002 S cm(-1) for (1: 1) and (1: 2) molar ratios, respectively. These conductivities indicate signifi cant improvements (> 1000x) over the physically blended samples. The results shown here demonstrate the great potential of in situ preparation for the realization of new PEM materials in future high-temperature and non-humidified polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) applications.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 30A 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, HakanA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 40A New Rod-Shaped Bodipy-Acetylene Molecule for Solution-Processed Semiconducting Microribbons in N-Channel Organic Field-Effect Transistors(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Choi, Donghee; Zorlu, Yunus; Cosut, Bunyemin; Kim, Hyungsug; Kim, Choongik; Usta, HakanBODIPY-based pi-conjugated small molecules have been extensively studied in various fields of sensing and biochemical labelling; however, their use in organic optoelectronic applications is very limited. A new solution-processable acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type small molecule, BDY-PhAc-BDY, consisting of BODIPY pi-acceptors and a rod-shaped 1,4-bis-(thienylethynyl) 2,5-dialkoxybenzene pi-donor, has been synthesized and fully characterized as a novel n-channel semiconductor in bottom-gate/top-contact organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The new semiconductor exhibits an electrochemical band gap of 2.12 eV with highly stabilized HOMO/LUMO energy levels of -5.68 eV/-3.56 eV. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of BDY-PhAc-BDY reveals a relatively low "BODIPY-meso-thiophene" dihedral angle (theta = 44.94 degrees), antiparallel pi-stacked BODIPY dimers with an interplanar distance of 3.93 angstrom, and strong "C-H center dot center dot center dot pi (2.85 angstrom)" interactions. The OFET devices fabricated by solution processing show the formation of highly-crystalline, one-dimensional (1-D) microribbons, which results in clear n-channel semiconductivity with an electron mobility of 0.004 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and an on/off current ratio of 10(5)-10(6). To date, this is the highest reported for BODIPY-based small molecular semiconductors with alkyne linkages. Our results clearly demonstrate that BODIPY is an effective pi-acceptor unit for the design of solution-processable, electron-transporting organic semiconductors and easily fabricable 1-D semiconductor micro-/nano-structures for fundamental/applied research in organic optoelectronics.
