Abstract

Ambipolar transport behavior in isoindigo-based conjugated polymers is observed for the first time. Fluorination on the isoindigo unit effectively lowers the LUMO level of the polymer and significantly increases the electron mobility from 10(-2) to 0.43 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) while maintaining high hole mobility up to 1.85 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) for FET devices fabricated in ambient. Further investigation indicates that fluorination also affects the interchain interactions of polymer backbones, thus leading to different polymer packing in thin films.
