Abstract
Despite the rapid progress of organic electronics, developing high-performance n-type organic semiconductors is still challenging. Donor-acceptor (D-A) type conjugated structures have been an effective molecular design strategy to achieve chemically-stable semiconductors and the appropriate choice of the acceptor units determines the electronic properties and device performances. We have now synthesized two types of A1 -D-A2 -D-A1 type conjugated molecules, namely, NDI-BTT-NDI and NDI-TBZT-NDI, with different central acceptor units. In order to investigate the effects of the central acceptor units on the charge-transporting properties, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were fabricated. NDI-TBZT-NDI had shallower HOMO and deeper LUMO levels than NDI-BTT-NDI. Hence, the facilitated charge injection resulted in ambipolar transistor performances with the optimized hole and electron mobilities of 0.00134 and 0.151 cm2 V-1 s-1 , respectively. In contrast, NDI-BTT-NDI displayed only an n-channel OFET performance with the electron mobility of 0.0288 cm2 V-1 s-1 . In addition, the device based on NDI-TBZT-NDI showed a superior air stability to that based on NDI-BTT-NDI. The difference in these OFET performances was reasonably explained by the contact resistance and film morphology. Overall, this study demonstrated that the TBZ acceptor is a promising building block to create n-type organic semiconductors.

Abstract
The life expectancy of humans has been significantly elevated due to advancements in medical knowledge and skills over the past few decades. Although a lot of knowledge and skills are disseminated to the general public, electronic devices that quantitatively diagnose one’s own body condition still require specialized semiconductor devices which are huge and not portable. In this regard, semiconductor materials that are lightweight and have low power consumption and high performance should be developed with low cost for mass production. Organic semiconductors are one of the promising materials in biomedical applications due to their functionalities, solution-processability and excellent mechanical properties in terms of flexibility. In this review, we discuss organic semiconductor materials that are widely utilized in biomedical devices. Some advantageous and unique properties of organic semiconductors compared to inorganic semiconductors are reviewed. By critically assessing the fabrication process and device structures in organic-based biomedical devices, the potential merits and future aspects of the organic biomedical devices are pinpointed compared to inorganic devices.

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
Organic mixed ionic and electronic conductors are of significant interest for bioelectronic applications. Here, three different isoindigoid building blocks are used to obtain polymeric mixed conductors with vastly different structural and electronic properties which can be further fine-tuned through the choice of comonomer unit. This work shows how careful design of the isoindigoid scaffold can afford highly planar polymer structures with high degrees of electronic delocalization, while subtle structural modifications can control the dominant charge carrier (hole or electron) when probed in organic electrochemical transistors. A combination of experimental and computational techniques is employed to probe electrochemical, structural, and mixed ionic and electronic properties of the polymer series which in turn allows the derivation of important structure-property relations for this promising class of materials in the context of organic bioelectronics. Ultimately, these findings are used to outline robust molecular-design strategies for isoindigo-based mixed conductors that can support efficient p-type, n-type, and ambipolar transistor operation in an aqueous environment.

Abstract
Acceptor-acceptor (A-A) copolymerization is an effective strategy to develop high-performance n-type conjugated polymers. However, the development of A-A type conjugated polymers is challenging due to the synthetic difficulty. Herein, a distannylated monomer of strong electron-deficient double B←N bridged bipyridine (BNBP) unit is readily synthesized and used to develop A-A type conjugated polymers by Stille polycondensation. The resulting polymers show ultralow LUMO energy levels of -4.4 eV, which is among the lowest value reported for organoboron polymers. After n-doping, the resulting polymers exhibit electric conductivity of 7.8 S cm-1 and power factor of 24.8 μW m-1 K-2 . This performance is among the best for n-type polymer thermoelectric materials. These results demonstrate the great potential of A-A type organoboron polymers for high-performance n-type thermoelectrics.

Abstract
This review outlines the design strategies which aim to develop high performing n-type materials in the fields of organic thin film transistors (OTFT), organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) and organic thermoelectrics (OTE). Figures of merit for each application and the limitations in obtaining these are set out, and the challenges with achieving consistent and comparable measurements are addressed. We present a thorough discussion of the limitations of n-type materials, particularly their ambient operational instability, and suggest synthetic methods to overcome these. This instability originates from the oxidation of the negative polaron of the organic semiconductor (OSC) by water and oxygen, the potentials of which commonly fall within the electrochemical window of n-type OSCs, and consequently require a LUMO level deeper than ∼-4 eV for a material with ambient stability. Recent high performing n-type materials are detailed for each application and their design principles are discussed to explain how synthetic modifications can enhance performance. This can be achieved through a number of strategies, including utilising an electron deficient acceptor-acceptor backbone repeat unit motif, introducing electron-withdrawing groups or heteroatoms, rigidification and planarisation of the polymer backbone and through increasing the conjugation length. By studying the fundamental synthetic design principles which have been employed to date, this review highlights a path to the development of promising polymers for n-type OSC applications in the future.

Abstract
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical chromophores of isoindigo 3-7 were designed and synthesized, in which isoindigo was used as the central unit (electron acceptor unit A), triphenylamine as the end capping unit (electron donor group D), 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD, A') and cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidene-expanded TCBD (A″) as the acceptor unit. The effects of multiacceptor units on photophysical, electrochemical, and computational studies were investigated. The photophysical properties of isoindigo 6 and 7 exhibit a strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorption band in the near IR region. The isoindigo 4-7 shows multi-redox waves with a low electrochemical band gap, which signifies the tuning of highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels and enhance the π-conjugation. The computational studies demonstrate that there is a good agreement with experimental data. The molecular design and synthesis of isoindigo 4-7 gives a new avenue for the development of building blocks in organic electronics.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are interesting building blocks for the preparation of conjugated polymers due to their extended π surface and planar conformation. However, their use as comonomer in conjugated polymers often leads to nonplanar main chains as a consequence of high steric hindrance at the linking point. Herein, we report the synthesis of a ladderized anthanthrene unit using an sp3 carbon bridge. Three conjugated copolymers with fluorene, isoindigo, and bithiophene derivatives have been synthesized and characterized to study the effect of such ladderization on the electronic properties. The dihedral angle between the ladderized anthanthrene and adjacent units has been significantly reduced by the formation of the sp3 carbon bridge, thus eliminating the steric hindrance with the proton at the peri position of the anthanthrene unit and red-shifting the absorption spectrum by 25 nm.

Abstract
The direct arylation polycondensation (DArP) appeared as an efficient method for producing semiconducting polymers but often requires acceptor monomers with orienting or activating groups for the reactive carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which limits the choice of acceptor units. In this study, we describe a DArP for producing high-molecular-weight all-acceptor polymers composed of the acceptor monomers without any orienting or activating groups via a modified method using Pd/Cu co-catalysts. We thus obtained two isomeric all-acceptor polymers, P1 and P2, which have the same backbone and side-chains but different positions of the nitrogen atoms in the thiazole units. This subtle change significantly influences their optoelectronic, molecular packing, and charge-transport properties. P2 with a greater backbone torsion has favorable edge-on orientations and a high electron mobility μe of 2.55 cm2 V-1 s-1 . Moreover, P2-based transistors show an excellent shelf-storage stability in air even after the storage for 1 month.

Abstract
To simultaneously assess the impact of molecular weight (Mn) and alkyl substituent variations of polymers on the structural and optoelectronic properties, herein, we conduct a systematic study of a series of poly(thienoisoindigo-alt-naphthalene) (PTIIG-Np)-based polymers containing different alkyl substituents (2-hexyldecyl (HD), 2-octyldodecyl (OD), and 2-decyltetradecyl (DT) chains) and Mn's (low (L) and high (H)). All of the polymers produce almost identical energy levels, whereas their optical spectra show a clear dependence on Mn's and the alkyl substituents. Interestingly, increasing the alkyl substituent sizes of the polymers steadily increases the lamellar d-spacings (d100), ultimately leading to a densely packed lamellar structure for PTIIGHD-Np. In addition, both H-PTIIGOD-Np and H-PTIIGDT-Np exhibit larger π-stacking crystallites than the corresponding low-Mn polymers, while for PTIIGHD-Np, their size increases in the low-Mn batch. Ultimately, L-PTIIGHD-Np shows the best hole mobility of 1.87 cm2 V-1 s-1 in top-gate and bottom-contact organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with a poly(methyl methacrylate), which is nearly 1 order of magnitude higher than other polymers tested in this study. Our results demonstrate that the simultaneous Mn and alkyl substituent engineering of the polymers can optimize their film morphology to produce high-performance OFETs.

Abstract
To achieve extremely high planarity and processability simultaneously, we have newly designed and synthesized copolymers composed of donor units of 2,2'-(2,5-dialkoxy-1,4-phenylene)dithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (TT-P-TT) and acceptor units of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP). These copolymers consist of a highly planar backbone due to intramolecular interactions. We have systematically investigated the effects of intermolecular interactions by controlling the side chain bulkiness on the polymer thin-film morphologies, packing structures, and charge transport. The thin-film microstructures of the copolymers are found to be critically dependent upon subtle changes in the intermolecular interactions, and charge transport dynamics of the copolymer based field-effect transistors (FETs) has been investigated by in-depth structure-property relationship study. Although the size of the fibrillar structures increases as the bulkiness of the side chains in the copolymer increases, the copolymer with the smallest side chain shows remarkably high charge carrier mobility. Our findings reveal the requirement for forming efficient 3-D charge transport pathway and highlight the importance of the molecular packing and interdomain connectivity, rather than the crystalline domain size. The results obtained herein demonstrate the importance of tailoring the side chain bulkiness and provide new insights into the molecular design for high-performance polymer semiconductors.

Abstract
A novel photoactive polymer with two different molecular weights is reported, based on a new building block: thieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene isoindigo. Due to the improved crystallinity, optimal blend morphology, and higher charge mobility, solar-cell devices of the high-molecular-weight polymer exhibit a superior performance, affording efficiencies of 9.1% without the need for additives, annealing, or additional extraction layers during device fabrication.

Abstract
Nonvolatile resistive memory devices based on a new low bandgap donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer, poly((E)-6,6'-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine-5-yl)-1,1'-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-[3,3'-biindolinyi-dene]-2,2'-dione) (PIDED), which are fabricated and operated in ambient air, are reported. The D-A conjugated polymer is synthesized from 2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine and isoindigo as an electron donor and an electron acceptor, respectively, using CH-arylation polymerization. The devices show nonvolatile, unipolar resistive switching behaviors with a high on/off current ratio (∼104), excellent endurance cycles (>200 cycles), and a long retention time (>104 s) in ambient air. These properties remain stable in ambient air over one year, demonstrating that the device performance is significantly unaffected by exposure to air as the isoindigo has strong electron-withdrawing character and the PIDED exhibits a high degree of crystallinity. This study may pave the way for use of practical nonvolatile organic memory devices operating in ambient air.
