High purity monomer for applications in OFETs, OLED, PLED and OPV
For the synthesis of small molecules and semiconducting polymers
5,5'-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,2'-bithiophene can be used for the synthesis of small molecules and polymer semiconductors for OFETs, OLED, PLED, OPV applications.5,5'-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,2'-bithiophene can be prepared from 2,2'-bithiophene which is an electron rich and donating unit if it is embedded into low band-gap polymer semiconductors.
Reacting with 4,9-dibromo-2,7-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-Benzo[3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8-(2H,7H)-tetrone, 5,5'-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,2'-bithiophene yields a heavily n-dopable π-conjugated redox polymer, poly{[N,N′-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenedicarboximide-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5′-(2,2′-bithiophene)} (PNDI2OD-T2).
