Synthesis and research of a kind of perylene imide discoid molecule

Abstract

Discotic liquid crystal molecules are excellent organic semiconductor materials due to their high carrier mobility. Dibenzocoronene derivatives obtained by nuclear expansion with perylene diimide as a matrix are one of the discotic molecules. The key factor for the application of this type of molecule is that it can form stable and long-range ordered organic nano-scale thin films. It can be used as an efficient carrier transport channel. This paper intends to use the “channel effect” to obtain the corresponding long-range orderly ideal film. The “channeling effect” referred to in this article is to bond functional discoid molecules on the substrate firstly, than generate the corresponding self-assembled monomolecular membranes (SAMs) to form an ordered channel on the surface which strongly induces and restricts the discoid molecules that arranged in parallel and orderly with each other along the “channels” created on the surface of the SAMs. Perylene diimide derivatives are a kind of good electron transport materials, which are characterized by high carrier mobility, low processing cost, and good thermal stability. However, it has the large rigid core and the melting point is relatively high. In this paper, a monobenzocoperylene diimide derivative is designed and synthesized, which will have a strong effect on the surface of the silicon substrate, and reduce the molecular melting point by reducing the size of the perylene imide discotic molecular core expansion.
