Effects of molecular topological transformation on crystallization and electric properties
Organic semiconductors have received much attention from both industry and academia
due to their potential opto-electronic applications. Solution-process ability is one of their most attractive features. The other component of an organic semiconductor material's molecular structure is its π-conjugated backbone
which plays an important role in determining the extent of π-π stacking and charge mobility. In our work
two conjugated molecules were selected to understand how molecular shape impacts the crystallization tendencies of molecular semiconductors. One (DT) is a highly torsional molecule
and the other molecule (CDT) uses a carbon "bridge" to lock the conjugated backbone into a planar conformation. The twisted molecule (DT) is more soluble in the solution. Interestingly
the twisted molecule (DT) exhibits a greater degree of crystallization and higher charge mobility properties in the solid state than the planar CDT molecule. The mobility of DT film is up to 6.73×10

which is over one order of magnitude. These findings are relevant within the context of selecting and designing semiconductors that exhibit high solubility and a tendency to provide stable organized structures with desirable electronic properties.
