In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of incorporating CBSs with thioether units into naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based n-type semiconducting polymers on their semiconductivity and stretchability compared to polymers with the corresponding alkyl- and ether-based CBSs. Indeed, six NDI-based semiconducting polymers with CBSs composed of di(ethylene sulfide), tetra(ethylene sulfide), di(ethylene oxide), tetra(ethylene oxide), octylene, and tetradecylene units were synthesized by statistical terpolymerization based on Migita-Kosugi-Stille cross-coupling reactions of 5,5′-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (2T), 4,9-dibromo-2,7-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8-tetraone (Br-NDI-Br), and CBSs. The experimental results indicate that heteroatom-based CBSs would sufficiently affect solid-state packing, intrinsic stretchability, and mobility retentions of the corresponding polymers. Although all of the polymers demonstrated strong edge-on orientations, those with ether-based CBSs displayed the lowest crystallinity among them. This result was attributed to the phase separation induced by highly polar ethylene oxide moieties, leading to inferior charge transport performances and low crack onset strain. In contrast, the thin film of the polymer with thioether-based CBSs showed delayed crack onset strain and a high dichroic ratio. The narrower bond angle of C-S-C (98.9°) than C-O-C (113.3°) calculated by the DFT method led to a more bent conformation along the polymer backbone, which provided a strain-releasing capability to realign the polymer chains. Consequently, the polymers with thioether-based CBSs displayed higher mobility-stretchability properties than those comprising ether-based CBSs. This is the first report on the design, synthesis, and application to organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) of stretchable n-type semiconducting polymer materials, clarifying the impact of heteroatoms on the mobility-stretchability properties of n-type semiconducting polymers with new CBSs having ethylene oxide and ethylene sulfide units. |
