Herringbone to cofacial solid state packing via H-bonding in diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based molecular crystals: influence on charge transport†
Abstract
The mono-alkylation of DPP derivatives leads to cofacial π–π stacking via H-bonding unlike their di-alkylated counterparts, which exhibit a classical herringbone packing pattern. Single crystal organic field-effect transistor (OFET) measurements reveal a significant enhancement of charge carrier mobility for mono-hexyl DPP derivatives.
