The self-assembly properties of a series of functionalized regioregular oligo(3-alkylthiophenes) were investigated by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the liquid–solid interface under ambient conditions. The characteristics of the 2-D crystals formed on the (0001) plane of highly ordered pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) strongly depend on the length of the π-conjugated oligomer backbone, on the functional groups attached to it, and on the alkyl substitution pattern on the individual thiophene units. Theoretical calculations were performed to analyze the geometry and electronic density of the molecular orbitals as well as to analyze the intermolecular interactions, in order to obtain models of the 2-D molecular ordering on the substrate.

ABSTRACTConjugated oligomers form a fascinating class of molecular semiconductors, which open the perspective of control of electronic and structural properties through the variation of their chemical structure. For analysing the correlation between charge transport and structural properties, sexithiophene, 6T, was substituted by hexyl groups, both on the terminal α positions (α,ωDH6T) and as pendant groups in β position (β,β′DH6T). Structural characterizations by X-ray diffraction show that vacuum evaporated thin films of 6T and α,ωDH6T consist of layered structure in a monoclinic arrangement, with all-planar Molecules standing on the substrate, and that a much longer range ordering is observed when passing from 6T to α,ωDH6T, evidencing a large increase of molecular organization at the mesoscopic level. Electrical characterizations also indicate a significant enhancement of anisotropy of conductivity, with a ratio of 120 in favor of the conductivity along the stacking axis for α,ωDH6T. The charge carrier mobility, measured on field-effect transistors fabricated from these conjugated oligomers, also shows a large increase by a factor of 25 when passing from 6T to α,ωDH6T, and reaches a value close to 10-1cm2V-1s-1. In contrast, ββ′DH6T presents very low conductivity and mobility. These observations are attributed to the self-assembly properties brought by alkyl groups in α,ω position, and confirm the large potential of molecular engineering of organic semiconductors.

Recent research on organic semiconductors has revealed that the composition of the constituent organic material, as well as the subtle changes in its structure (the stacking order of molecules), can noticeably affect its bulk properties. One of the reasons for this is that the charge transport in conjugated materials is strongly affected by their structure. Further, the charge mobility increases significantly when the conjugated materials exhibit self-assembly, resulting in the formation of ordered structures. However, well-organized nanostructures are difficult to obtain using classical solution processing methods, owing to their disordered state. A simple strategy for obtaining well-ordered material films involves synthesizing new conjugated materials that can self-organize. Introducing hydrogen bonding in the materials to yield hydrogen-bonded material superstructures can be a suitable method to fulfill these critical requirements. The formed hydrogen bonds will facilitate the assembly of the molecules into a highly ordered structure and bridge the distance between the adjacent molecules, thus enhancing the intermolecular charge transfer. In this minireview, hydrogen-bonded small molecules and polymers as well as the relationship between their chemical structures and performances in organic field-effect transistors are discussed.

The solubilizing side-groups of solution-processable π-conjugated organic semiconductors affect both the crystal structure and microstructure of the respective thin films and thus charge-carrier mobility in devices.
