Abstract

Dinaphthothiophene has been reported as a promising p-type semiconductor. The development of high-performance n-type semiconductors is highly desirable. The introduction of an imide group into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can lower their LUMO levels to meet the basic requirement of n-type organic semiconductor materials. In this work, we have synthesized four imide-modified dinaphthothiophenes and dinaphthothiophenedioxides. Their optoelectronic properties have been investigated. Their low-lying LUMO levels make them potential n-type semiconductor candidates.
