This Introductory Lecture is intended to provide a background to Faraday Discussion 174: “Organic Photonics and Electronics” and will consist of a chronological, subjective review of organic electronics. Starting with “ancient history” (1888) and history (1950–present), the article will take us to the present. The principal developments involved the processes of charge carrier generation and charge transport in molecular solids, starting with insulators (photoconductors) and moving to metals, to semiconductors and ending with the most popular semiconductor devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The presentation will be from an organic chemistry/materials point of view.

Donor–acceptor–donor (DAD) triad systems are commonly applied as active materials in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, and NIR-emitting organic light-emitting diodes. Often, these triads utilize oligothiophenes as donors, whereas their oxygen-containing analogs, oligofurans, are far less studied in this setup. Here we introduce a family of DAD triads in which the donors are oligofurans and the acceptor is benzothiadiazole. In a combined computational and experimental study, we show that these triads display optical bandgaps similar to those of their thiophene analogs, and that a bifuran donor is sufficient to produce emission in the NIR spectral region. The presence of a central acceptor unit increases the photostability of oligofuran-based DAD systems compared with parent oligofurans of the similar length.

Abstract—Light-emitting organic field-effect transistors (LE-FETs) on the basis of composite films that consist of perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr_3) embedded in a matrix of conjugated polymer—polyfluorene (PFO)—have been obtained, and their electrical and optical properties have been investigated. Output and transfer current-voltage characteristics (I-Vs) of FETs based on PFO : CsPbBr_3 films (component ratio 1 : 1) have a slight hysteresis at temperatures of 100–300 K and are characteristic of hole transport. The hole mobility is ∼3.3 and ∼1.9 cm^2/(V s) at the modes of the saturation and low fields, respectively, at 250 K and reaches ∼5 cm^2/(V s) at 100 K. It has been shown that the application of pulsed voltage to LE-FETs based on PFO : CsPbBr_3 can reduce the ionic conductivity and provide electroluminescence in this structure at 300 K.
