Abstract

Given the fundamental differences in carrier generation and device operation in organic thin- film transistors (OTFTs) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, the material design principles to apply may be expected to differ. In this respect, designing organic semiconductors that perform effectively in multiple device configurations remains a challenge. Following “donor–acceptor” principles, we designed and synthesized an ...
