High electron transporting character; Perylenebis(dicarboximide)s (PDIs) can be used as air-stable n-type semiconductor materials for organic fieldeffect transistors (OFETs); Excellent candidates as electron accepting building blocks for organic photovoltaics (OPVs).
General Description
2,9-Dipropylanthra[2,1,9-def:6,5,10-d′e′f′]diisoquinoline-1,3,8,10(2H,9H)tetrone belongs to the class of perylenebis(dicarboximide) (PDI) that has an electron transporting character. It can be used as an air-stable n-type semiconductor material in organic field effect transistors. It can also be used as an acceptor molecule in organic photovoltaics.
