Abstract:
In this article, a versatile 2-D conjugated polymer, PNDTP-DPP, containing alkylphenyl substituted naphthodithiophene is synthesized and characterized. PNDTP-DPP exhibits good solubility and crystallinity with a π-π stacking distance of ≈3.7 Å. Investigation of polymer solar cells (PSCs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFET) demonstrates a promising power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.11% and a high hole mobility of up to 0.86 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) , so this is one of the few examples of versatile polymers that show both good field-effect mobility and PCE.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the...
