| الوصف: | Electrical properties arising from doped conducting polymers offer various applications in organic electronics. Recently, sequential chemical doping of semiconducting polymers has attracted attention owing to its capability of being a full solution process, controllable doping level, high electrical properties, and obtaining crystalline conducting polymers. Although the sequentially doped conducting polymers are promising for high electrical conductivities and solid-state physics studies, they show issues of ambient stability due to competitive dedoping. Taking redox reactions with adsorbed water molecules into account as the major dedoping mechanism in p-doped conducting polymers, the fine-tuning of energy levels is a way to improve the ambient stability. In this work, we synthesized two poly(2,5-bis(thiophene-2-yl)thieno[3,2- b ]thiophene) regioisomers functionalized with alkoxy side chains to lower the ionization potential by the electron-donating alkoxy groups. After sequential p-doping, the two isomers demonstrated high crystallinities and electrical conductivities on the order of 1 × 10 2 S cm –1 in air. In addition, the p-doped alkoxy isomers exhibited ionization potentials smaller than the alkyl analogue by ∼0.1 eV, which led to a competition with the redox potential of water. As a result, the stability was remarkably improved, particularly under a high-humidity condition. Therefore, the alkoxy sidechains are promising as a molecular design strategy for conducting polymers with excellent ambient stability. |
