Abstract

[3]-Radialene-based dopant CN6-CP studied herein, with its reduction potential of +0.8 versus Fc/Fc+ and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of -5.87 eV, is the strongest molecular p-dopant reported in the open literature, so far. The efficient p-doping of the donor-acceptor dithienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer having the highest unoccupied molecular orbital level of -5.49 eV is achieved. The doped films exhibit electrical conductivities up to 70 S cm(-1) .

Keywords: conjugated polymers; electrical conductivity; organic electronics p-dopant.
