Abstract
Highly planar, extended π-electron organic conjugated polymers have been increasingly attractive for achieving high-mobility organic semiconductors. In addition to the conventional strategy to construct rigid backbone by covalent bonds, hydrogen bond has been employed extensively to increase the planarity and rigidity of polymer via intramolecular noncovalent interactions. This review provides a general summary of high-mobility semiconducting polymers incorporating hydrogen bonds in field-effect transistors over recent years. The structural engineering of the hydrogen bond-containing building blocks and the discussion of theoretical simulation, microstructural characterization, and device performance are covered. Additionally, the effects of the introduction of hydrogen bond on self-healing, stretchability, chemical sensitivity, and mechanical properties are also discussed. The review aims to help and inspire design of new high-mobility conjugated polymers with superiority of mechanical flexibility by incorporation of hydrogen bond for the application in flexible electronics.

Abstract
High-performance ambipolar and electronic type semiconducting polymers are essential for fabricating various organic optoelectronic devices and complementary circuits. This review summarizes the strategies of improving the electron transport of semiconducting polymers via acceptor modulation strategies, which include the use of single, dual, triple, multiple, and all acceptors as well as the fusion of multiple identical acceptors to obtain new heterocyclic acceptors. To further improve the electron transport of semiconducting polymers, the introduction of strong electron-withdrawing groups can enhance the electron-withdrawing ability of donors and acceptors, thereby facilitating electron injection and suppressing hole accumulation. In addition, the relationships between the molecular structure, frontier molecular orbital energy levels, thin film morphology, microstructure, processing conditions, and device performances are also comprehensively discussed. Finally, the challenges encountered in this research area are proposed and the future outlook is presented.

Abstract
ConspectusIn the last three decades, p-type (hole-transporting) organic and polymeric semiconductors have achieved great success in terms of materials diversity and device performance, while the development of n-type (electron-transporting) analogues greatly lags behind, which is limited by the scarcity of highly electron-deficient building blocks with compact geometry and good solubility. However, such n-type semiconductors are essential due to the existence of the p-n junction and a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-like circuit in organic electronic devices. Among various electron-deficient building blocks, imide-functionalized arenes, such as naphthalene diimide (NDI) and perylene diimide (PDI), have been proven to be the most promising ones for developing n-type organic and polymeric semiconductors. Nevertheless, phenyl-based NDI and PDI lead to sizable steric hindrance with neighboring (hetero)arenes and a high degree of backbone distortion in the resultant semiconductors, which greatly limits their microstructural ordering and charge transport. To attenuate the steric hindrance associated with NDI and PDI, a novel imide-functionalized heteroarene, bithiophene imide (BTI), was designed; however, the BTI-based semiconductors suffer from high-lying frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energy levels as a result of their electron-rich thiophene framework and monoimide group, which is detrimental to n-type performance.In this Account, we review a series of BTI derivatives developed via various strategies, including ring fusion, thiazole substitution, fluorination, cyanation, and chalcogen substitution, and elaborate the synthesis routes designed to overcome the synthesis challenges due to their high electron deficiency. After structural optimization, these BTI derivatives can not only retain the advantages of good solubility, a planar backbone, and small steric hindrance inherited from BTI but also have greatly suppressed FMO levels. These novel building blocks enable the construction of a great number of n-type organic and polymeric semiconductors, particularly acceptor-acceptor (or all-acceptor)-type polymers, with remarkable performance in various devices, including electron mobility (μe) of 3.71 cm2 V-1 s-1 in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.2% in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs), a PCE of 20.8% in inverted perovskite solar cells (PVSCs), electrical conductivity (σ) of 0.34 S cm-1 and a power factor (PF) of 1.52 μW m-1 K-2 in self-doped diradicals, and σ of 23.3 S cm-1 and a PF of ∼10 μW m-1 K-2 in molecularly n-doped polymers, all of which are among the best values in each type of device. The structure-property-device performance correlations of these n-type semiconductors are elucidated. The design strategy and synthesis of these novel BTI derivatives provide important information for developing highly electron-deficient building blocks with optimized physicochemical properties. Finally, we offer our insights into the further development of BTI derivatives and semiconductors built from them.

Abstract
The 3,5-dithiooctyl dithienothiophene based small molecular semiconductor DDTT-DSDTT (1), end functionalized with fused dithienothiophene (DTT) units, was synthesized and characterized for organic field effect transistors (OFET). The thermal, optical, electrochemical, and computed electronic structural properties of 1 were investigated and contrasted. The single crystal structure of 1 reveals the presence of intramolecular locks between S(alkyl)···S(thiophene), with a very short S-S distance of 3.10 Å, and a planar core. When measured in an OFET device compound 1 exhibits a hole mobility of 3.19 cm2 V-1 s-1, when the semiconductor layer is processed by a solution-shearing deposition method and using environmentally acceptable anisole as the solvent. This is the highest value reported to date for an all-thiophene based molecular semiconductor. In addition, solution-processed small molecule/insulating polymer (1/PαMS) blend films and devices were investigated. Morphological analysis reveals a nanoscopic vertical phase separation with the PαMS layer preferentially contacting the dielectric and 1 located on top of the stack. The OFET based on the blend comprising 50% weight of 1 exhibits a hole mobility of 2.44 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a very smaller threshold voltage shift under gate bias stress.

Abstract
n-Type polymers with deep-positioned lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels are essential for enabling n-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with high stability and n-type organic thermoelectrics (OTEs) with high doping efficiency and promising thermoelectric performance. Bithiophene imide (BTI) and its derivatives have been demonstrated as promising acceptor units for constructing high-performance n-type polymers. However, the electron-rich thiophene moiety in BTI leads to elevated LUMOs for the resultant polymers and hence limits their n-type performance and intrinsic stability. Herein, we addressed this issue by introducing strong electron-withdrawing cyano functionality on BTI and its derivatives. We have successfully overcome the synthetic challenges and developed a series of novel acceptor building blocks, CNI, CNTI, and CNDTI, which show substantially higher electron deficiencies than does BTI. On the basis of these novel building blocks, acceptor-acceptor type homopolymers and copolymers were successfully synthesized and featured greatly suppressed LUMOs (-3.64 to -4.11 eV) versus that (-3.48 eV) of the control polymer PBTI. Their deep-positioned LUMOs resulted in improved stability in OTFTs and more efficient n-doping in OTEs for the corresponding polymers with a highest electrical conductivity of 23.3 S cm-1 and a power factor of ∼10 μW m-1 K-2. The conductivity and power factor are among the highest values reported for solution-processed molecularly n-doped polymers. The new CNI, CNTI, and CNDTI offer a remarkable platform for constructing n-type polymers, and this study demonstrates that cyano-functionalization of BTI is a very effective strategy for developing polymers with deep-lying LUMOs for high-performance n-type organic electronic devices.

Abstract
A novel and highly selective fluorescent 1,8-naphthalimide-based probe, 3, was designed and synthesized for rapid Cu2+ detection in a CH3CN-H2O (3:1, v/v, pH = 7.4) solution by means of a distinct hydrolysis mechanism via its Cu2+-promoting feature. Upon treatment with Cu2+, the fluorescence response of probe 3 at 550 nm abruptly decreased, which was visible to the naked eye, and this response was accompanied by a clear change of the color of the solution; the color changed from the original yellow color to colorless. This color change occurred due to the Cu2+-promoted hydrolysis of 3, which yielded a fluorescence-quenched product. It is inspiring that probe 3 exhibited excellent sensitivity, a short response time and strong anti-interference recognition. Compared with the allowable amount of Cu2+ (∼20 μM) in drinking water, the detection limit of 3 for Cu2+ is calculated to be 9.15 nM, which is much lower than the amount defined by standards. The probe can be successfully applied for the determination of Cu2+ in real aqueous samples. Furthermore, probe 3 can be used as a fluorescent sensor to detect Cu2+ in biological environments, demonstrating its low toxicity to organisms and good cell permeability in live cell imaging.

Abstract
A novel quinoidal thienoisoindigo (TII)-containing small molecule family with dicyanomethylene end-capping units and various alkyl chains is synthesized as n-type organic small molecules for solution-processable organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The molecular structure of the 2-hexyldecyl substituted derivative, TIIQ-b16, is determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shows that the TIIQ core is planar and exhibits molecular layers stacked in a "face-to-face" arrangement with short core intermolecular distances of 3.28 Å. The very planar core structure, shortest intermolecular N···H distance (2.52 Å), existence of an intramolecular non-bonded contact between sulfur and oxygen atom (S···O) of 2.80 Å, and a very low-lying LUMO energy level of -4.16 eV suggest that TIIQ molecules should be electron transporting semiconductors. The physical, thermal, and electrochemical properties as well as OFET performance and thin film morphologies of these new TIIQs are systematically studied. Thus, air-processed TIIQ-b16 OFETs exhibit an electron mobility up to 2.54 cm2 V-1 s-1 with a current ON/OFF ratio of 105-106, which is the first demonstration of TII-based small molecules exhibiting unipolar electron transport characteristics and enhanced ambient stability. These results indicate that construction of quinoidal molecule from TII moiety is a successful approach to enhance n-type charge transport characteristics.
