Table 1. Properties of p(gNDI-T2) and p(gNDI-gT2).
Polymer | IP* [eV] | EA* [eV] | Bandgap ΔE=IP−EA | Absorption onset [nm] | Repeating units [NMR] |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
p(gNDI-T2) | 5.53 | 3.85 | 1.68 | 817 | —† |
p(gNDI-gT2) | 4.83 | 4.12 | 0.71 | 1,550 | 7‡ |
Ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA) and bandgap measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) of a thin film in 0.1 M TBAPF6 (ACN) acetonitrile solution.
*CV measurements of the films with the onset energy value for oxidation and reduction peak.
†End capping for p(gNDI-T2) could not be carried out due to a low solubility of the polymer.
‡The number of repeating units was calculated by 1H NMR spectroscopy as well as MALDI-TOF spectrometry.
