Thiadiazoloquinoxaline–Acetylene Containing Polymers as Semiconductors in Ambipolar Field Effect Transistors

Abstract

Two conjugated copolymers, PPTQT and PTTQT, were developed based on thiadiazoloquinoxalines connected via ethynylene π-spacer to thiophene units. PPTQT showed maximum hole and electron mobility of 0.028 and 0.042 cm(2)/V s, respectively, being the first example of an ambipolar semiconducting material bearing triple bonds in the polymer backbone.
