Conjoint use of Naphthalene Diimide and Fullerene Derivatives to Generate Organic Semiconductors for n-type Organic Thin Film Transistors.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we described the design, synthesis, and characterization of two novel naphthalene diimide (NDI) core-based targets modified with terminal fullerene (C₆₀ ) yield - so called S4 and S5, in which NDI bearing 1 and 2 molecules of C₆₀ , respectively. The absorption, electrochemical and thin-film transistor characteristics of the newly developed targets were investigated in detail. Both S4 and S5 displayed broad absorption in the 450-500 nm region, owing to the effect of conjugation due to fullerene functionalities. The electrochemical measurement suggested that the HOMO and the LUMO energy levels can be altered with the number of C₆₀ units. Both S4 and S5 were employed as organic semiconductor materials in n-channel transistors. The thin film tran
