Organic and Polymeric Semiconductors Enhanced by Noncovalent Conformational Locks
Abstract
Constructing highly planar, extended π-electron systems is an important strategy for achieving high-mobility organic semiconductors. In general, there are two synthetic strategies for achieving π-conjugated systems with high planarity. The conventional strategy connects neighboring aromatic rings through covalent bonds to restrict the rotation about single bonds. However, this usually requires a complex sequence of synthetic steps to achieve this target, which can be costly and labor-intensive. More recently, noncovalent through-space intramolecular interactions, which are defined here as noncovalent conformational locks, have been employed with great success to increase the planarity and rigidity of extended π-electron systems; this has become a well-known and important strategy to design and synthesize highly planar π-conjugated systems for organic electronics. This review offers a comprehensive and general summary of conjugated systems with such noncovalent conformational locks, including O···S, N···S, X···S (where X = Cl, Br, F), and H···S through-space interactions, together with analysis by density functional theory computation, X-ray diffraction, and microstructural characterization, as well as by evaluation of charge transport in organic thin-film transistors and solar cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
