Abstract

Abstract : Back Cover: The thiophene–vinyl–thiophene (TVT) structure can be beneficial for improving the carrier mobility of a conjugated polymer in organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). With the vinyl linkage planted not only among the dithiophene units, but also between the thieno[3, 4‐c]pyrrole‐4, 6‐dione (TPD) and thiophene, a "fully vinyl linked" conjugated polymer can be constructed. The C–H‥O H‐bonds play an important part in enhancing the planarity of the polymer back bone and, therefore, the performance in OFETs. Such a synergic effect enables the hole mobility of the polymer to reach 0.4 cm 2 V −1 s −1, which is excellent among the TPD‐dithophene based conjugated polymers.
