DescriptionThe objective of this research is to develop new electron deficient building blocks based on organoboron compounds for conjugated polymers with potential utility in organic electronic applications such as OLED and organic solar cells. Development of n-type organic semiconductors lag its p-type counterpart due to difficult synthesis and manipulation of n-type building blocks. Boron atoms can be incorporated into conjugated materials in their tetracoordinate or tricoordinate form with more facile modification of electronic properties. Chapter 2 and 3 will discuss the synthesis of B-N Lewis pair-fused dipyridylfluorene monomers, which contain tetracoordinate boron atoms. For the derived polymers the effectiveness of π-conjugation and the influence of comonomers and boron substituents were studied. Chapter 4 focuses on the development of tricoordinate organoboron polymers based on bis(thienyl)borane with a bulky protection group. The optical and electronic properties of the monomers and polymers can be tuned by variation of the B-CThiophene attachment site and the pendant aryl substituent. An optimized polymerization procedure was developed to reduce or eliminate structural defects from homocoupling and alkyl transfer which can significantly impact the electronic properties of developed bis(thienyl)borane polymers. The developed bis(thienyl)boranes were evaluated for non-fullerene organic solar cells that can be casted from ecofriendly solvents such as alcohols and 2-methyl furane.
