Abstract

Abstract A series of perylene-3, 4: 9, 10-bis (dicarboximide)(PBI) and perylene-3, 4: 9, 10-bis (benzimidazole)(PTCBI) derivatives that are di-or tetra-substituted at the bay region by electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups have been synthesized as soluble n-type semiconductors. Optical absorption spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis show that the nature of substitution at the bay region plays a crucial role in the modulation of the ...
