Highly π-extended copolymers with diketopyrrolopyrrole moieties for high-performance field-effect transistors

Adv Mater. 2012 Sep 4;24(34):4618-22. doi: 10.1002/adma.201201318. Epub 2012 Jun 15.

Abstract

Two donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymer PDVTs based on diketopyrrolopyrole and (E)-2-(2-(thiophen-2-yl)vinyl)thiophene (TVT) units are synthesized for solution-processed field-effect transistors (FETs). The highly π-extended TVT units strengthen the coplanarity of the polymer backbone. FETs based on PDVTs show high mobilities above 2.0 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) with a current on/off ratio of 10(5)-10(7) , high shelf storage, and operation stability.
