The Stille cross-coupling polymerization is one of the most efficient synthetic methods for donor-acceptor (D-A) type π-conjugated polymers (CPs). Nevertheless, thermal-activation Stille polymerization readily produced homocoupling defects, resulting in batch-to-batch variations in copolymers quality and deteriorating the device performance of electronics and optoelectronics. Here, a room-temperature Stille-type polymerization was developed, the utility and generality of which were demonstrated by synthesis of twelve D-A CPs with high molecular weights. Importantly, the resultant copolymers possessed no homocoupling (hc) structural defects, while hc reactions were observed in the thermal-activation Stille reactions. Thus, the organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on the former exhibited twofold higher charge transport mobility (2.10 cm V s ), since it possessed stronger crystallinity and lower trap density of states (tDOS).

We synthesized n-type polymers poly{[N,N'-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene)} [P(NDI2OD-T2)] and poly{[N,N'-bis(3-(4-cardanol)propyl)-naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylic diimide]-alt-[5,5'-bis(2-thienyl)-2,2'-bithiophene]} [P(NDICL-T2)] with cardanol-based side chains via Stille coupling to enhance electron mobility. Replacing the 2-octyldodecyl side chain with cardanol in P(NDICL-T2) improved electron mobility due to increased chain flexibility and ordered packing. Lower glass transition temperature (), red-shifted UV-vis absorption, results from crystalline structure analysis, indicating tighter lamellar spacing and enhanced molecular ordering, and smoother surface morphology confirmed the enhanced intermolecular interactions and uniform film formation.

Design strategies to achieve degradation and ideally closed-loop recycling of organic semiconductors have attracted great interest in order to minimize the electronic waste (E-waste). In this work, three ester-incorporated monomers were synthesized by the names of Thiophene-Ester-Ethylene-Thiophene (TEET), Thiophene-Ester-Methylene-Thiophene (TEMT), and Thiophene-Ester-Thiophene (TET), which were co-polymerized via Stille polycondensation with a benzodithiophene (BnDT) π-conjugated unit to yield a series of ester-incorporated polymers: PBnDT-TEET, PBnDT-TEMT, and PBnDT-TET. While the ester-only linker can maintain some extended conjugation in PBnDT-TET, the other two ester linkers having conjugation breaking units result in isolated conjugated segments in PBnDT-TEET and PBnDT-TEMT, evidenced by UV-Vis and CV results.

Photocatalytic generation of H via water splitting emerges as a promising avenue for the next generation of green hydrogen due to its low carbon footprint. Herein, a versatile platform is designed to the preparation of functional π-conjugated organic nanoparticles dispersed in aqueous phase via mini-emulsification. Such particles are composed of donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) trimers prepared via Stille coupling, stabilized by amphiphilic block copolymers synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization.
