We present the imide-functionalized polymer semiconductors for

high-performanceorganic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and polymer solar cells

(PSCs). The imide-functionalized arenesinclude naphthalene diimide,

phthalimide, thiophene imide, bithiazole imide, bithiophene imide, and various

bithiophene imide derivatives with precisely controlled conjugation length and

defined structure. Some other novel imide-functionalized arenes will also be presented.

By copolymerizing with various electron donor co-units, we are able to achievea

series of polymer semiconductors with tunable charge carrier polarities (n-type,

p-type, and ambipolar) and substantial mobilities. The high mobilities, narrow

bandgaps, and low-lying HOMOs enable the imide-functionalized polymers as

excellent donor materials in PSCs, and the resulting solar cells show highly

promising power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). The materials chemical structure-property-device

performance correlation is established, which should guide materials design in organicelectronics.

Intramolecular sulfur-oxygen interaction has shown great success in designing high-performance

organic semiconductors due to good materials solubility and high-degree of

backbone planarity. However, the derived semiconductors usually have high-lying

HOMOs due to the strong electron donating nature of alkoxy chain, which leads

to degraded stability in OTFTs and small open-circuit voltages in PSCs (<

0.6 V). By wisely choosing the arenes and controlling the substitution pattern

of the alkoxy chains, we have successfully synthesized a series of novel

electron-rich building blocks featuring intramolecular sulfur-oxygen

interaction, and their incorporation into polymer backbones affords the

resulting semiconductors with high-degree of backbone planarity, close intermolecular

packing, low-lying HOMOs, and widely tunable bandgaps, which lead to remarkable

charge carrier mobility with good OTFT stability. At meantime, substantial Vocs

(~ 0.8 V) andexcellent PCEs(>10%) are achieved in PSCs. Hence, the

intramolecular sulfur-oxygen interaction is an effective strategy for materials

innovation in organic electronics.
