1D conjugated polymers belong to the family of organic semiconductor materials, in which the charge carriers are polarons or bipolarons. Charge transport in 1D organic semiconductors in the presence of high electric fields is studied within the SSH model. It is found that under a sufficiently high electric field, the polaron is dissociated into free-like electron. The electron performs Bloch oscillation (BO) in the organic semiconductors. By enhancing the electric field, BO will be destroyed and electrons can transit from the valence band to the conduction band, which is Zener tunneling in organic semiconductors. The results also indicate a field-induced insulator-metal transition.

<p>We have considered three two-dimensional (2D) π-conjugated polymer networks (i.e., covalent organic frameworks, COFs) materials based on pyrene, porphyrin, and zinc-porphyrin cores connected <i>via</i> diacetylenic linkers. Their electronic structures, investigated at the density functional theory global-hybrid level, are indicative of valence and conduction bands that have large widths, ranging between 1 and 2 eV. Using a molecular approach to derive the electronic couplings between adjacent core units and the electron-vibration couplings, the three π-conjugated 2D COFs are predicted to have ambipolar charge-transport characteristics with electron and hole mobilities in the range of 65-95 cm<sup>2</sup>V<sup>-1</sup>s<sup>-1</sup>. Such predicted values rank these 2D COFs among the highest-mobility organic semiconductors. In addition, we have synthesized the zinc-porphyrin based 2D COF and carried out structural characterization via powder X-ray diffraction and surface area analysis, which demonstrates the feasability of these electroactive networks.</p>
