    Solution-Processable Bodipy-Based Small Molecules for Semiconducting Microfibers in Organic Thin-Film Transistors
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2016-05-23) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Choi, Donghee; Kwon, Guhyun; Zorlu, Yunus; Cosut, Bunyemin; Kim, Hyekyoung; Usta, Hakan
    Electron-deficient pi-conjugated small molecules can function as electron-transporting semiconductors in various optoelectronic applications. Despite their unique structural, optical, and electronic properties, the development of BODIPY-based organic semiconductors has lagged behind that of other pi-deficient units. Here, we report the design and synthesis of two novel solution-proccessable BODIPY-based small molecules (BDY-3T-BDY and BDY-4T-BDY) for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The new semiconductors were fully characterized by H-1/C-13 NMR, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of a key intermediate reveals crucial structural properties. Solution-sheared top-contact/bottom-gate OTFTs exhibited electron mobilities up to 0.01 cm(2)/V center dot s and current on/off ratios of >10(8). Film microstructural and morphological characterizations indicate the formation of relatively long (similar to 0.1 mm) and micrometer-sized (1-2 mu m) crystalline fibers for BDY-4T-BDY-based films along the shearing direction. Fiber-alignment-induced charge-transport anisotropy (mu?/mu approximate to 10) was observed, and higher mobilities were achieved when the microfibers were aligned along the conduction channel, which allows for efficient long-range charge-transport between source and drain electrodes. These OTFT performances are the highest reported to date for a BODIPY-based molecular semiconductor, and demonstrate that BODIPY is a promising building block for enabling solution-processed, electron-transporting semiconductor films.

    Meso-π-extended/Deficient BODIPYs and Low-Band Donor-Acceptor Copolymers for Organic Optoelectronics
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2022-02-16) Can, Ayse; Choi, Gi-Seok; Ozdemir, Resul; Park, Soyoon; Park, Jin Su; Lee, Yongchul; Usta, Hakan
    The realization of pi-deficient acceptors and their donor-acceptor copolymers has become a key research focus for the realization of versatile organic optoelectronic materials and devices. Herein, we demonstrate the theoretical design, synthesis, and physicochemical/optoelectronic characterization of two meso-pi-extended/deficient BODIPY building blocks (2OD-T2BDY and 2OD-TTzBDY) and a library of donor-acceptor copolymers with low band gap (E-g = 1.30-1.35 eV) based on these building blocks. These building blocks, to the best of our knowledge, are the first examples of BODIPYs with meso-pi-extension. A library of BODIPY building blocks with varied meso units/substituents is studied to reveal the meso effects on the semiconducting BODIPY's optoelectronic properties. The building blocks showed favorable pi-acceptor electronic/structural properties with meso-pi-delocalized and stabilized LUMOs (ca. -3.6 eV) and large ground-state dipole moments of 4.9-5.5 D. Consistent with the theoretical/experimental pi-electronic structures, all copolymers functioned as p-type semiconductors in field-effect transistors and as donor materials in the bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics. Power conversion efficiencies of up to 4.4% with a short-circuit current of 12.07 mA cm(-2) were achieved. This study demonstrates a unique meso-pi-extension strategy to realize BODIPYs with favorable pi-acceptor properties, and our findings could open up future materials design avenues in various organic optoelectronic applications.
