Organic neutral π-monoradicals are promising semiconductors with balanced ambipolar carrier-transport abilities, which arise from virtually identical spatial distribution of their singly occupied and unoccupied molecular orbitals, SOMO(α) and SOMO(β), respectively. Herein, we disclose a boron-stabilized triphenylmethyl radical that shows outstanding thermal stability and resistance toward atmospheric conditions due to the substantial spin delocalization. The radical is used to fabricate organic Mott-insulator transistors that operate at room temperature, wherein the radical exhibits well-balanced ambipolar carrier transport properties.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new type of organic phototransistor by altering the chemical composition of a co-polymer to achieve better charge transport and crystallinity.
- The switch from sulfur to oxygen in the polymer's structure increases electron affinity and allows for better ambipolar (both positive and negative charge transport) performance.
- The resulting device shows impressive sensitivity and can function effectively as a near-infrared detector with high responsiveness and gain enhancements when exposed to light.*

Here we report the synthesis of a novel buckybowl (7) with a high bowl-to-bowl inversion barrier (Δ = 38 kcal mol), which renders the rate of inversion slow enough at room temperature to establish two chiral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). By strategic fusion of eight-membered rings to the rim of 7, the chiral hybrids 8 and 9 are synthesized and display helicity and positive and negative curvature, allowing the enantiomers to be configurationally stable and their chiroptical properties are thoroughly examined. Computational and experimental studies reveal the enantiomerization mechanisms for the chiral hybrids and demonstrate that the eight-membered ring strongly affects the conformational stability.

Charge carrier polarity tuning in printed thin film transistors (TFTs) is a crucial step in order to obtain complementary printed devices. In this work, we studied the effect of an AlO passivation layer on printed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based TFTs to tune the charge carrier polarity. By varying the atomic layer deposition (ALD) temperature and AlO layer thickness, we can tune the doping degree of AlO to tailor the polarity of printed SWCNT-based TFTs (SWCNT-TFTs).

A poly (3,6-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-decyltetradecyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione-co-(2,3-bis(phenyl)acrylonitrile)) (PDPADPP) copolymer, composed of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and a cyano (nitrile) group with a vinylene spacer linking two benzene rings, is synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The electrical performance of PDPADPP in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and circuits is investigated. The OFETs based on PDPADPP exhibit typical ambipolar transport characteristics, with the as-cast OFETs demonstrating low field-effect hole and electron mobility values of 0.

Three novel diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based small molecules have been synthesized and characterized in terms of their chemical-physical, electrochemical and electrical properties. All the molecules consist of a central DPP electron acceptor core symmetrically functionalized with donor bi-thienyl moieties and flanked in the terminal positions by three different auxiliary electron-acceptor groups. This kind of molecular structure, characterized by an alternation of electron acceptor and donor groups, was purposely designed to provide a significant absorption at the longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum: when analysed as thin films, in fact, the dyes absorb well over 800 nm and exhibit a narrow optical bandgap down to 1.
