Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 74Solution-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, HakanElectron-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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 26Semiconducting Copolymers Based on Meso-Substituted BODIPY for Inverted Organic Solar Cells and Field-Effect Transistors(Wiley, 2017-12-11) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Kim, Sang Woo; Kim, Hyungsug; Kim, Myung-Gil; Kim, Bumjoon J.; Kim, Choongik; Usta, HakanThe synthesis, physicochemical, and optoelectronic properties of a new class of low band-gap (approximate to 1.3 eV) donor-acceptor copolymers based on a highly electron-deficient meso-5-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophene-substituted BODIPY pi-unit are presented. The polymeric solutions exhibit strong aggregation-dependent excitonic properties indicating the presence of enhanced pi-coherence as a result of strong interchain interactions. The polymeric semiconductor thin films prepared by spin coating show isotropic nodule-like grains with essentially no ordering in the out-of-plane direction. Field-effect hole mobilities of 0.005 cm(2) V-1.s(-1) are observed in bottom-gate top-contact organic field-effect transistors, and inverted bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics employing the polymer:PC71BM active layer exhibit excellent power conversion efficiencies of 6.2% with a short-circuit current of 16.6 mA cm(-2). As far as it is known, this is a record high value achieved to date for a boron-containing donor polymer in the photovoltaic literature indicating a significant enhancement in power conversion efficiency (>3-4 times). The findings clearly present that rationally designed BODIPY-based donor-acceptor copolymers can be a key player in photovoltaic applications.
