A fluorenone based low band gap solution processable copolymer for air stable and high mobility organic field effect transistors

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Feb 25;49(16):1588-90. doi: 10.1039/c2cc37131f.

Abstract

A fluorenone based alternating copolymer () with a furan based fused aromatic moiety has been designed and synthesized. exhibits a small band gap with a lower HOMO value. Testing this polymer semiconductor as the active layer in organic thin-film transistors results in hole mobilities as high as 0.15 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in air.
