Compared to traditional inorganic materials, organic semiconductors have advantageous properties which allow for low cost, adaptability to low-temperature processing on flexible substrates, and tunable electronic properties. Organic semiconductors are essential for the evolution of flexible and stretchable electronic products and would allow for the development of low-power displays, and printable sensors among other applications. High-performance n-channel semiconductors are important for the development of plastic electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-like complementary circuits. n-Channel π-conjugated polymers were synthesized with a structurally engineered side chain to increase solution processability while maintaining close π-π stacking. The synthesized polymers were characterized by 1H NMR.
