A bis(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-benzodifuran-dione containing copolymer for high-mobility ambipolar transistors†
Abstract
A bis(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-benzodifuran-dione (BIBDF)-based low band gap polymer (PBIBDF-BT), containing a solubilizing alkyl chain bithiophene unit as a donor, has been synthesized. The polymer with a low-lying LUMO/HOMO energy level (−4.03/−5.55 eV) exhibits efficient ambipolar charge transport. The electron and hole mobilities are as high as 1.08 and 0.30 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively.
