π-Conjugation expanded isoindigo derivatives and the donor-acceptor conjugated polymers: synthesis and characterization

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jan 18;54(7):782-785. doi: 10.1039/c7cc08603b.

Abstract

Two π-conjugation expanded isoindigo derivatives (DIID-PhCO and TIID-PhCO) composed of up to 18 rings and two donor-acceptor conjugated polymers based on DIID-PhCO were synthesized. Both polymers are ambipolar semiconductors with balanced hole and electron mobilities up to 0.10 and 0.14 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively, under ambient conditions.
