Conjugated polymers based on modified benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene and perylene diimide derivatives: Good optical properties and tunable electrochemical performance
E-mail:
Three original conjugated polymers were devised and synthesized via the alternating conjugated polymerization of the electron-donating monomer of the modified benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) and electronaccepting monomers of perylene diimide (PDI), dithienyl-perylene diimide (DTPDI) and dithienocoronene diimide (DTCDI), respectively. The synthesized conjugated polymers presented excellent thermal stability (T d >400 °C) as well as broad absorption in visible region and narrow gap of energy level (1.80 to 2.01 eV). Moreover, P(BDT-DTCDI) exhibited strong fluorescence properties (λ em max =736 nm with excitation at 680 nm). According to the theoretical calculations, P(BDT-PDI) and P(BDT-DTPDI) displayed significant polymer backbone torsion (41.44° and 39.64°), and P(BDT-DTCDI) had highly coplanar backbone with negligible angle between BDT and DTCDI. The results indicated that P(BDT-DTCDI) had potential applications in the fields of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and fluorescence materials, and P(BDT-PDI) and P(BDT-DTPDI) could be used as a stable n-type semiconductor for polymer solar cells.
