Alternatively, the present compounds can be prepared from commercially available starting materials, compounds known in the literature, or via other readily prepared intermediates, by employing standard synthetic methods and procedures known to those skilled in the art. Standard synthetic methods and procedures for the preparation of organic molecules and functional group transformations and manipulations can be readily obtained from the relevant scientific literature or from standard textbooks in the field. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions can vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures. Those skilled in the art of organic synthesis will recognize that the nature and order of the synthetic steps presented can be varied for the purpose of optimizing the formation of the polymers described herein.

Suitable solvents typically are substantially nonreactive with the reactants, intermediates, and/or products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, i.e., temperatures that can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected.
- Various compounds according to the present teachings can have good charge transport properties and can be stable under ambient conditions (“ambient stable”), soluble in common solvents, and in turn solution-processable into various articles, structures, or devices. In particular, compared to other compounds that may have a conjugated core similar to the present compounds, the substituent(s) CHR1R1′ and/or CHR2R2′ was found to confer greatly improved processability, specifically, in solution-phase at or near room temperature. For example, while prior art compounds may require hot solution processing (e.g., temperature at about 100° C.) with aggressive (e.g., chlorinated) solvents, the present compounds can be processed at a temperature less than about 50° C. using non-halogenated (e.g., non-chlorinated solvents).
- Accordingly, the present teachings provide organic semiconductor devices that include one or more compounds described herein as semiconductors. Examples of such organic semiconductor devices include various electronic devices, optical devices, and optoelectronic devices such as thin film transistors (e.g., field effect transistors), photovoltaics, photodetectors, organic light emitting devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic light emitting transistors (OLETs), complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOSs), complementary inverters, diodes, capacitors, sensors, D flip-flops, rectifiers, ring oscillators, integrated circuits (ICs), radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags, electroluminescent displays, and organic memory devices.

Thus, various embodiments of the present compounds can be processed via inexpensive solution-phase techniques into electronic devices, optical devices, or optoelectronic devices. As used herein, a compound can be considered soluble in a solvent when at least 1 mg of the compound can be dissolved in 1 mL of the solvent. Examples of common non-chlorinated organic solvents include petroleum ethers; acetonitrile; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and mesitylene; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, diethyl ether, di-isopropyl ether, and t-butyl methyl ether; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, butanol, and isopropyl alcohol; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexanes; acetates such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl formate, ethyl formate, isopropyl acetate, and butyl acetate; amides such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; sulfoxides such as dimethylsulfoxide; and cyclic solvents such as cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, and 2-methypyrrolidone.

However, contact printing techniques have the key advantage of being well-suited for very fast roll-to-roll processing. Exemplary contact printing techniques include screen-printing, gravure, offset, flexo, and microcontact printing. Other solution processing techniques include, for example, spin coating, drop-casting, zone casting, dip coating, and blade coating.

- In this example, 2,9-1MD-DNTT (Example X) has longer alkyl substitutent (R=—CH(CH3)C11H23) compared to those of Examples 1 (2,9-1MP-DNTT, R=—CH(CH3)C4H9) and 2 (2,9-1MB-DNTT, R=—CH(CH3)C3H7). Longer alkyl chains are expected to enhance molecular ordering in thin-film phase via alkyl chain interdigitations, which may result in highly crystalline, continuous and uniform film morphologies with enhanced charge transport characteristics. Additionally, longer alkyl chain also ensures good solubility of the semiconductor in common organic solvents for efficient solution-processing. The effect of alkyl chain length on charge transporting characteristics of non-soluble DNTT semiconductors was demonstrated in Adv. Mater. 2011, 23, 1222-1225, and ˜5-10-fold mobility enhancement was observed going from -n-C6H13 to -n-C12H13 for vapor-deposited OTFTs.

MS (MALDI) m/z (M+.): calc. for (C24H22S2), 374.56; found, 373.86. Anal. calcd. for (C24H22S2): C, 76.96; H, 5.92. Found: C, 76.88; H, 5.90. m.p.>210-211° C.
- The solubility of Cn-DNTTs (Cn=a linear alkyl chain) are very low in organic solvents (up to ˜80 mg/L in toluene at 60° C.) (see: Adv. Mater. 2011, 23, 1222-1225). The solubility of 2,9-1MP-DNTT can be about 50 g/L in toluene at 60° C., which is >500 times higher than those of the corresponding linear alkyl chain DNTT compounds having the same (or lower) number of carbon atoms.
- Device Fabrication Procedure (Bottom Gate Top Contact (BGTC)): BGTC TFTs were fabricated using compounds of the present teachings as the semiconductor layer. N-doped silicon wafers (100) with 3000 Å thermally grown silicon dioxide layer (Addison Inc.) were used as device substrates. Prior to deposition of the semiconductor, the Si/SiO2 surfaces were modified through a special octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment process. Thin films of semiconductors approximately 0-120 nm in thickness were prepared through physical vapor deposition (PVD), with the deposition rate of 0.1-0.5 Å/s and the substrate temperature of 30-120° C. The TFTs were completed by vapor deposition of 300 Å gold source/drain electrodes onto the semiconductor layer through a stencil mask to define the transistor channel. The channel lengths and widths are about 50-200 μm and about 500-2000 μm, respectively. The silicon dioxide layer served as the gate insulator. The gate electrode was accessed through an ohmic contact to the doped silicon.
- Device Fabrication Procedure (Top Gate Bottom Contact (TGBC)): For TGBC devices, PolyEthyleneNaphthalate (PEN) substrates (2″×2″) were planarized with UV-curable polymeric films (ActivInk D1400, Polyera Corp., Skokie, Ill.). A silver layer of 30 nm was then deposited by thermal evaporation. Source and drain contacts were patterned using photolithography process and silver was etched by a mixture of acids and water. The semiconductor was spun from a hydrocarbon solution (15 mg-mL) at 2000 rpm. The semiconductor film thickness depends on the solubility of the semiconductor. In the case of 2,9-1MP-DNTT, the film had a thickness of about 60 nm. These films were then baked on a hot plate at 110° C. for 10 min to remove residual solvent. The amorphous fluoropolymer CYTOP (CTL-809M, Asahi Glass Corporation) was spun as the top-gate dielectric at 5000 rpm to a thickness of about 450 nm, and baked on a hot plate at about 110° C. for 10 minutes. The device structure was completed by the evaporation of an aligned Ag top-gate stripe.
- Device Fabrication Procedure (Bottom Gate Bottom Contact (BGBC)): For BGBC devices, a Cr/Au gate stripe was evaporated on clean PEN substrates. Subsequently, UV-curable polymeric films (Activink D1450, Polyera Corp., Skokie, Ill.) were spun (thickness ˜500 nm) and cured to form the bottom-gate dielectric. A silver layer of 30 nm was then deposited by thermal evaporation. Source and drain contacts were patterned using photolithography process and silver was etched by a mixture of acids and water. Thin films of the semiconductor were prepared according to the same protocols as for the TGBC devices.
- The TFT performance of 2,9-1MP-DNTT were compared vis-a-vis to that of C8-DNTT (synthesized according to the procedure reported in Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 3430) in several device architectures. The results are summarized in Table 1.
