Azulene is a promising candidate for constructing optoelectronic materials. An effective strategy is presented to obtain high-performance conjugated polymers by incorporating 2,6-connected azulene units into the polymeric backbone, and two conjugated copolymers P(TBAzDI-TPD) and P(TBAzDI-TFB) were designed and synthesized based on this strategy. They are the first two examples for 2,6-connected azulene-based conjugated polymers and exhibit unipolar n-type transistor performance with an electron mobility of up to 0.42 cm V s , which is among the highest values for n-type polymeric semiconductors in bottom-gate top-contact organic field-effect transistors. Preliminary all-polymer solar cell devices with P(TBAzDI-TPD) as the electron acceptor and PTB7-Th as the electron donor display a power conversion efficiency of 1.82 %.
薁是构建光电材料的有前途的候选物。本工作提出了一种有效的策略,通过将 2,6-连接的薁单元引入聚合物主链,从而得到具有高性能的共轭聚合物。基于该策略,设计并合成了两种共轭共聚物 P(TBAzDI-TPD)和 P(TBAzDI-TFB)。它们是首例基于 2,6-连接的薁的共轭聚合物,表现出单极性 n 型晶体管性能,电子迁移率高达 0.42 cm V s ,在底栅顶接触有机场效应晶体管中的 n 型高分子半导体中属于最高值之列。以 P(TBAzDI-TPD)为电子受体和 PTB7-Th 为电子给体的初步全聚合物太阳能电池器件的功率转换效率为 1.82%。
