We report patterned deposition of carbon nanotube/conjugated polymer composites from solution with high nanotube densities and excellent feature resolution. Such composites are suited for use as electrodes in high-performance transistors of pentacene and C(60), with bottom-contact mobilities of > 0.5 and > 1 cm(2) V(−1) s(−1), respectively. This represents a clear step towards development of inexpensive, high-performance all-organic circuits.

This study delves into the distinctive selective property exhibited by a non-conjugated cholesterol-based polymer, poly(CEM--EHA), in sorting semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) within isooctane. Comprised of 11 repeating units of cholesteryloxycarbonyl-2-hydroxy methacrylate (CEM) and 7 repeating units of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), this non-conjugated polymer demonstrates robust supramolecular interactions across the sp surface structure of carbon nanotubes and graphene. When coupled with the Double Liquid-Phase Extraction (DLPE) technology, the polymer effectively segregates s-SWCNTs into the isooctane phase (nonpolar) while excluding metallic SWCNTs (m-SWCNTs) in the water phase (polar).

sp-carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (spc-COFs) are crystalline porous polymers with repeat organic units linked by sp carbons, and have attracted increasing interest due to their robust skeleton and tunable semiconducting properties. Single-crystalline spc-COFs with well-defined structures can represent an ideal platform for investigating fundamental physics properties and device performance. However, the robust olefin bonds inhibit the reversible-reaction-based crystal self-correction, thus yielding polycrystalline or amorphous polymers.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has emerged as a promising nanomaterial with a wide range of potential applications due to their unique structural, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. However, numerous obstacles must be overcome for CNTs to be used successfully, including low solubility, aggregation, and a lack of specialized functions. Diverse techniques have been developed for the manufacture, purification, and functionalization of CNTs in order to overcome these issues.

Zigzag aromatic hydrocarbon belts, ultrashort segments of zigzag carbon nanotubes, have been fascinating in the chemistry community for more than a half century because of their aesthetically appealing molecular nanostructures and tantalizing applications. Precise introduction of heteroatoms of distinct electronegativity and electronic configuration can create various heterocyclic aromatic nanobelts with novel physical and chemical properties. Here, we report the synthesis of unprecedented N-doped zigzag-type aromatic belts, belt[]pyrrole[]pyridines ( = 6-8), from multiple intramolecular C-C homocoupling reactions of readily available azacalix[](3,5-dibromopyridine)s.
