Abstract
A small molecule organic semiconductor, D(D'-A-D')2 comprising benzothiadiazole as an acceptor, 3-hexylthiophene, and thiophene as donors, was successfully synthesized. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to investigate the effect of a dual solvent system with varying ratios of chloroform and toluene on film crystallinity and film morphology via inkjet printing. The film prepared with a chloroform to toluene ratio of 1.5 : 1 showed better performance with improved crystallinity and morphology due to having enough time to control the arrangement of molecules. In addition, by optimizing ratios of CHCl3 to toluene, the inkjet-printed TFT based on 3HTBTT using a CHCl3 and toluene ratio of 1.5 : 1 was successfully fabricated and exhibited a hole mobility of 0.01 cm2 V-1 s-1 due to the improved molecular ordering of the 3HTBTT film.

Abstract
Two kinds of donor–acceptor π-conjugated copolymer based on poly{[N-hexyl-dithieno(3,2-b:2′,3′-d)pyrrole-2,6-diyl]alt-[isoindigo]} (PDTP-IID) and poly{[N-hexyl-dithieno(3,2-b:2′,3′-d)pyrrole-2,6-diyl]alt-[thiazol-2,5-diyl]} (PDTP-Thz) were investigated. These copolymers were synthesized via a Stille coupling reaction. The results showed the structure–property relationships of different donor–acceptor (D–A) combinations. The polymer structures and photophysical properties were characterized by 1H NMR, TGA, DSC, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, AFM, CV, and XRD measurement. Through UV-vis absorption and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, it showed that the copolymers exhibit not only a low bandgap of 1.29 eV and 1.51 eV but also a deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of −5.49 and −5.11 eV. Moreover, photovoltaic properties in combination with the fullerene derivatives were investigated. The device based on the copolymers with PC71BM exhibited higher maximum power conversion efficiency and higher maximum short-circuit current density of 0.23% with 1.64 mA cm−2 of PDTP-IID:PC71BM and 0.13% with 1.11 mA cm−2 of PDTP-Thz:PC71BM than those of the copolymers with PC61BM. Measurements performed for N-hexyl-dithieno(3,2-b:2′,3′-d)pyrrole-based copolymers proved the potential of these polymers to be applied in optoelectronic applications. The relationships between the structure and the property of donor–acceptor copolymers based on dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]pyrrole as a strong donor unit and isoindigo or thiazole as acceptor units are successfully studied.![]()

Abstract
Three homopolymers were successfully synthesized by direct CH–CH arylation polymerization of thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione or pyromellitic diimide derivatives affording highly purified polymers with high molecular weights (43.0–174.7 K). Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione and pyromellitic diimide derivatives are considered as electron-withdrawing units. The synthesized homopolymers P1, P2, and P3 showed band gaps in the range of 2.13–2.08 eV, respectively. The electron mobilities of the three homopolymers have been investigated. The thin film transistor for P1 prepared by the eutectic-melt-assisted nanoimprinting method achieved an electron mobility of 2.11 × 10−3 cm2 s−1 V−1. Based on the obtained results, the synthesized polymers can be used as potential electron acceptors in solar cell applications. The homopolymers P1, P2 and P3 were successfully synthesized by direct CH–CH arylation polymerization in an eco-friendly one-step coupling reaction. They present n-type properties for potential applications as acceptor polymers.![]()

Abstract
In the present study, we demonstrated the effect of hydrogen bonding in the semiconducting behaviour of a small molecule used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). For this study, the highly soluble dumbbell-shaped molecule, Boc-TATDPP based on a Boc-protected thiophene-diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and triazatruxene (TAT) moieties was used. The two Boc groups of the molecule were removed by annealing at 200 °C, which created a strong hydrogen-bonded network of NH-TATDPP supported by additional π-π stacking. These were characterised by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy, XRD and high-resolution (HR)-TEM measurements. FETs were fabricated with the semiconducting channel made of Boc-TATDPP and NH-TATDPP separately. It is worth mentioning that the Boc-TATDPP film can be cast from solution and then annealed to get the other systems with NH-TATDPP. More importantly, NH-TATDPP showed significantly higher hole mobilities compared to Boc-TATDPP. Interestingly, the high hole mobility in the case of NH-TATDPP was unaffected upon blending with [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71 BM). Thus, this robust hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network is likely to be useful in designing efficient and stable organic optoelectronic devices.
