Donor-Acceptor-Donor (D-A-D) based conjugated molecules 4,7-bis(5-(4-butoxyphenyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BOP-TBT) and 4,7-bis(5-(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (TFP-TBT) using thiophene-benzothiadiazole-thiophene central core with trifluoromethyl phenyl and butoxyphenyl end capping groups were designed and synthesised via Suzuki coupling. Optical, electrochemical, thermal, and organic field effect transistor (OFET) device properties of BOP-TBT and TFP-TBT were investigated. Both small molecules possess two absorption bands. Optical band gaps were calculated from the absorption cut off to be in the range of 2.06–2.25 eV. Cyclic voltammetry indicated reversible oxidation and reduction processes and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels were calculated to be in the range of 5.15–5.40 eV and 3.25–3.62 eV, respectively. Upon testing both materials for OFET, trifluoromethylphenyl end capped material (TFP-TBT) shows n-channel behaviour whereas butoxyphenyl end capped material (BOP-TBT) shows p-channel behaviour. Density functional theory calculations correlated with shifting of HOMO-LUMO energy levels with respect to end capping groups. Vacuum processed OFET of these materials have shown highest hole carrier mobility of 0.02 cm2/Vs and electron carrier mobility of 0.004 cm2/Vs, respectively using Si/SiO2 substrate. By keeping the central D-A-D segment and just by tuning end capping groups gives both p- and n-channel organic semiconductors which can be prepared in a single step using straightforward synthesis.

Donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecules are of great interest for potential organic field-effect transistor applications with ambipolar characteristics and non-volatile memory applications. Here, we synthesized an organic semiconductor, PDPPT-TT, and directly utilized it in both field-effect transistor and non-volatile memory applications. As-synthesized PDPPT-TT was simply spin-coated on a substrate for the device fabrications. The PDPPT-TT based field-effect transistor showed ambipolar electrical transfer characteristics. Furthermore, a gold nanoparticle-embedded dielectric layer was used as a charge trapping layer for the non-volatile memory device applications. The non-volatile memory device showed clear memory window formation as applied gate voltage increases, and electrical stability was evaluated by performing retention and cycling tests. In summary, we demonstrate that a donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecule shows great potential for ambipolar field-effect transistors and non-volatile memory device applications as an important class of materials.

Donor–acceptor–donor (DAD) triad systems are commonly applied as active materials in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, and NIR-emitting organic light-emitting diodes. Often, these triads utilize oligothiophenes as donors, whereas their oxygen-containing analogs, oligofurans, are far less studied in this setup. Here we introduce a family of DAD triads in which the donors are oligofurans and the acceptor is benzothiadiazole. In a combined computational and experimental study, we show that these triads display optical bandgaps similar to those of their thiophene analogs, and that a bifuran donor is sufficient to produce emission in the NIR spectral region. The presence of a central acceptor unit increases the photostability of oligofuran-based DAD systems compared with parent oligofurans of the similar length.

Conjugated polymers with narrower bandgaps usually induce higher carrier mobility, which is vital for the improved thermoelectric performance of polymeric materials. Herein, two indacenodithiophene (IDT) based donor–acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers (PIDT-BBT and PIDTT-BBT) were designed and synthesized, both of which exhibited low-bandgaps. PIDTT-BBT showed a more planar backbone and carrier mobility that was two orders of magnitude higher (2.74 × 10−2 cm2V−1s−1) than that of PIDT-BBT (4.52 × 10−4 cm2V−1s−1). Both exhibited excellent thermoelectric performance after doping with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, where PIDTT-BBT exhibited a larger conductivity (0.181 S cm−1) and a higher power factor (1.861 μW m−1 K−2) due to its higher carrier mobility. The maximum power factor of PIDTT-BBT reached 4.04 μW m−1 K−2 at 382 K. It is believed that conjugated polymers with a low bandgap are promising in the field of organic thermoelectric materials.
