Bent-Shaped <i>p</i>-Type Small-Molecule Organic Semiconductors: A Molecular Design Strategy for Next-Generation Practical Applications

Abstract

-type) OSCs based on the "bent-shaped" geometry with specific molecular orbital configurations, which aims to enhance effective intermolecular orbital overlaps, stabilize crystal phases, suppress detrimental molecular motions in the solid state, and improve solution processability. The results indicated that such OSCs have high μ and suitable solution processability, and are resistant to ambient and thermal conditions, making them suitable for practical applications.
