摘要

Direct arylation polycondensation synthesized conjugated polymer PFuDPP-4FTVT is soluble in 3-methylcyclohexanone (3-MC). n-Channel organic thin-film transistors of the polymer with electron mobility (,μ,e,) above 1 cm,2,·V,−1,·s,−1,were fabricated with 3-MC. This is the first report on high mobility conjugated polymers processible with naturally occurred green solvent.

Abstract

The solubility of a direct arylation polycondensation (DArP) synthesized conjugated polymer,i.e., poly(3,6-bis(furan-2-yl)-2,5-bis(4-tetradecyloctadecyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-,c,]pyrrole-1,4(2,H,5,H,)-dione-,alt,-1,2-bis(3,4-difluorothien-2-yl)ethene) (PFuDPP-4FTVT), in various organic solvents was studied. The polymer is soluble in 3-methylcyclohexanone (3-MC), a green solvent from peppermint oil, besides other solvents such as anisole, cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) and,o,-dichlorobenzene (,o,-DCB),etc,. Based on the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) analysis, 3-MC is identified as a “marginal solvent” of PFuDPP-4FTVT. The morphology of the spin-coated films with 3-MC as the solvent strongly correlated with the solution preparation conditions. With a 3-MC solution aged for 3 h at 70 °C, n-channel organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with electron mobility (,μ,e,) above 1 cm,2,·V,−1,·s,−1,and current on/off ratio (,I,on,/,I,off,) higher than 10,5,were fabricated by spin-coating. This is the first report on high mobility conjugated polymers for OTFTs processible with naturally occurred green solvent.
