TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of carbazole-based polymers and its preparation method, transistor memory and its preparation method, belong to organic storage and information technology field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Human society is rapidly stepping into the interconnection era, and the explosive growth of data is leading to a surge in demand for storage chips. Memory, as the home of data, is an indispensable element of information technology and artificial intelligence. This requires memory to have faster read and write speeds, smaller sizes, higher storage densities, and simpler manufacturing processes. It also has characteristics such as flexibility, portability, and other features. Emerging storage technologies include phase change PCM, ferroelectric RAM, magnetic RAM, memristor, and flash memory. Compared with inorganic storage materials, organic materials have many advantages such as low cost, solution processing, large-area preparation, and compatibility with flexible substrates.
[0003] Compared with traditional organic field effect transistors, organic field effect transistor memory adds a carrier trapping layer between the semiconductor layer and the gate. The carrier trapping layer can be divided into three types according to the trapping characteristics: ferroelectric, floating gate, and electret. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Ferroelectric materials such as PZT, MXD6, or P(VDF / TrFE) have field effect transistor memory that is not affected by external conditions and can store data for a long time. However, it has a large leakage current, poor resistance, and poor polarization retention. Floating gate materials mainly include nanoparticles of Au, Ag, Cu, and organic materials, as well as two-dimensional materials. OFET memory has high storage density and can be processed on flexible substrates in large areas. However, it has high erase voltage, poor storage stability, complex processing technology, and device structure. Organic electret OFET memory can maintain a semi-permanent polarization state without an external electric field. However, it has high operating voltage, slow read and write speed, poor resistance, and unclear relationship between storage mechanism and molecular structure.
[0004] In the prior art, COFs (covalent organic framework materials) and MOFs (metal-organic framework materials) are commonly used as raw materials to prepare the carrier trapping layer. However, COFs and MOFs have poor expandability, complex synthesis methods, and cannot be processed in large areas.
[0005] Carbazole is an important nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound. Carbazole-based polymers have received increasing attention due to their excellent stability and higher redox potential than other conductive polymers. Due to their high hole transport mobility and strong absorption in the UV spectral region, carbazole-based polymers exhibit good electrical and optical activity. These properties have expanded the applications of carbazole-based polymers, such as transistors, smart windows, light-emitting diodes, (bio)sensors, and photovoltaic devices.

[0080] Example 1
[0081] The molecular formula of the carbazole-based polymer is:
[0082]
[0083] The synthetic route is as follows:
[0084]
[0085] The specific preparation method is as follows:
[0086] Before the experiment, all glassware was dried. Magnesium granules (1.74 g) and one iodine grain were added to a two-necked flask, sealed, and protected under a nitrogen atmosphere. Bromobenzene (7.5 mL) was added to 72 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF), and after complete dissolution, 2 mL was slowly injected into the magnesium-iodine system. The mixture was heated until the grayish-brown color turned colorless. An ice-water bath was prepared during this process to prevent excessive temperature from causing bumping. The remaining solution was then added to the reaction flask and reacted at 60 °C for 3 h. In another apparatus, anthraquinone (3 g, 170 mL THF) was added and reacted at -10 °C for 20 min. The Grignard reagent prepared in the first apparatus was then injected into the reaction flask containing the anthraquinone solution. Both reactions were carried out under nitrogen protection and stirred at below 0 °C for 4 h until the reaction was complete.
[0087] After the reaction was completed, a suitable amount of saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction solution to quench the reaction. The mixture was then extracted multiple times with CH2Cl2, and the organic phase was collected. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the desiccant was filtered off, and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The crude product was separated by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a 45% pure product (100-200 mesh silica gel, eluent V). 石油醚 :V 二氯甲烷 =1:2), and then recrystallized from dichloromethane and petroleum ether to give a white flaky solid (2.32 g, 45%).
[0088] The white, flaky solid product was confirmed to be diphenylanthracene ditert-ol by proton NMR spectroscopy. The proton NMR data are as follows: 1 H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3) δ7.68 (dd, J = 3.39, J = 2.50Hz, 4H), 7.38 (dd, J = 3.35, 2.56Hz, 4H), 7.11-7.02 (m, 10H), 6.87 (s, 2H).
[0089] Prepare and dry a 10mL two-necked reaction flask and a spherical condenser beforehand. Weigh out diphenylanthracene ditert-tert-ol (0.623g, 1.8mmol) and carbazole (0.3g, 1.8mmol), and seal under nitrogen protection. Inject 4mL of 1,4-dioxane into a syringe and heat to 70°C, then inject 0.2mL of boron trifluoride diethyl ether into the syringe. Connect cooling water and raise the temperature to 105°C under reflux. Stop the reaction after 40 hours. Clean and dry a 500mL beaker and magnetic stir bar. Add 400mL of methanol to the beaker, turn on the stirrer, and add the reaction solution dropwise into the methanol, precipitating a large amount of powder. After standing, filter under vacuum. Collect the filter residue, dry it, and obtain the preliminary product.
[0090] A fat extractor and its matching condenser, along with a 500mL flat-bottomed single-necked flask, were pre-washed and dried. 300mL of acetone was added to the flask. The preliminary product was wrapped in filter paper and placed in the fat extractor. The apparatus was connected, and cooling water was introduced. The mixture was heated under reflux for 48 hours, after which the process was stopped. The remaining solid was then dried in a vacuum drying oven, yielding 280mg of carbazole-based polymer.

After complete dissolution, 5 mL was slowly injected into the magnesium-iodine system and heated until the blackish-purple color turned colorless. An ice-water bath was prepared to prevent excessive temperature and bumping. The remaining solution was then added to the reaction flask and reacted at 60 °C for 8 hours. After most of the magnesium granules had participated in the reaction, the Grignard reagent obtained from the reaction was injected into a reaction flask containing fluorenone (19.14 g, 0.106 mol, 30 mL THF) solution. The entire reaction system was carried out under nitrogen protection, with circulating cooling water connected, and reacted at 90 °C for 18 hours.

The mixture was extracted multiple times with CH2Cl2, and the organic phase was collected. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the desiccant was filtered off, and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The crude product was separated by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a 70% pure product (100-200 mesh silica gel, eluent V). 石油醚 :V 二氯甲烷 =1:3), and then recrystallized with dichloromethane and petroleum ether to obtain a white solid powder of terephthalic difluorene ditert-ol (4.5 g, 30%).
[0100] The white, flaky solid product was confirmed to be tert-butylbenzene difluorene ditert-ol by proton NMR spectroscopy.
