Abstract
Four new perylene bisimides containing carbazolyl and triphenylamino electron-donor groups in the bay region have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The materials possess high thermal stability and form uniform films. They display a wide absorption window extending to the near infrared region of the spectrum and demonstrate efficient photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer. Ionization potential values of these perylene bisimide derivatives measured by photoelectron spectroscopy range from 5.8 eV to 6 eV. Charge-transporting properties were investigated by the xerographic time of flight (XTOF) technique. Complementary ambipolar charge-transport was observed in differently linked carbazolyl substituted perylene bisimides while the triphenylamino substituted material exhibited competent electron drift mobility (>10−3 cm2 V−1 cm−1) under ambient conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for carbazolyl bay substituted perylene bisimides in order to understand the complementary ambipolar charge transport as well as the difference in the optical properties.
