Abstract

A bis-diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP dimer, 2DPP) core is synthesized with much stronger electron deficiency than DPP by homocoupling of DPP. 2DPP-based polymers, P2DPP-BT, P2DPP-TT, P2DPP-TVT, and P2DPP-BDT, are obtained. Top-gated organic field-effect transistors on plastic substrate are fabricated. Compared with their mono-DPP-based polymers, remarkable improvement of electron mobilities of P2DPPs is achieved. Meanwhile, their p-channel performance becomes higher.
