Title: | Development of novel processable electron accepting conjugated polymers containing fluoranthene units in the main chain | Authors: | PALMAERTS, Arne LUTSEN, Laurence CLEIJ, Thomas VANDERZANDE, Dirk Pivrikas, Almantas Neugebauer, Helmut Sariciftci, Niyazi Serdar |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | POLYMER, 50(21). p. 5007-5015 | Abstract: | Considerable interest exists in the development of novel n-type conjugated polymers, since many currently available polymer systems have insufficient electron mobility and/or electron affinity. In this work, a universal synthesis route is presented towards a new class of n-type conjugated polymers, i.e. poly(p-fluoranthene vinylene) (PFV) and its derivatives. This route is illustrated with three examples, i.e. unsubstituted PFV and functionalized hexyl-PFV and dodecyl-PFV. All polymers have been synthesized via the dithiocarbamate precursor route. Solubility was introduced by incorporation of alkyl side chains, which leads to a significantly enhanced purity and processability as compared to unsubstituted PFV. Under the applied electrochemical conditions PFV-type polymers demonstrate typical n-type behavior. Additional CELIV mobility measurements on dodecyl-PFV reveal an excellent electron mobility, mu(e) = 1.4 x 10(-4) cm(2)/Vs. Hence, poly(p-fluoranthene vinylene) and its derivatives are promising n-type materials for organic optoelectronic applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
