Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic functional materials, specifically to a class of conjugated free radical polymers. Background Technology

[0002] Radical polymers (RPs), polymers with multiple radical centers, have attracted widespread attention due to their unique optoelectronic and magnetic properties compared to closed-shell polymers. Introducing radicals into the conjugated backbone of RPs is particularly attractive because they can effectively delocalize unpaired electrons on the conjugated backbone, resulting in interchain interactions of radicals via spatial and intrachain interactions via bond spin and / or charge transfer. Ideally, by controlling these intramolecular and intermolecular interactions of radical centers, RPs can simultaneously possess two properties, such as polymer π-electron magnetization and semiconductor properties, thus providing the organic magnetic semiconductor materials long sought by the scientific community, which are highly needed for emerging organic spintronics and magnetic, optical, and electronic applications. However, most RPs currently constructed are from non-conjugated backbones with localized radicals (exhibiting limited intramolecular / intermolecular electronic correlations between their radical centers), while RPs with delocalized unpaired electrons (i.e., conjugated radical polymers) remain largely unexplored, with only a few examples reported. Furthermore, a major challenge in this field is the synthesis of stable RPs with continuous radical introduction. The most common method—post-polymerization oxidation of polymers containing free radical precursors—often results in spin defects due to incomplete free radical transformation during the oxidation process.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design new conjugated radical polymers and synthetic strategies, especially those that can achieve easily achievable structures and properties, in order to advance the creation of novel conjugated radical polymers with spin delocalization properties and more advanced material properties.

[0064] Take a 100 mL double-necked flask and dissolve compound 9 (500 mg, 1.1 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL). After purging with argon for 30 min, add t-BuOK (247 mg, 2.2 mmol) under argon atmosphere, stir at room temperature for 30 min, then add tetrachlorobenzoquinone (421 mg, 3.3 mmol), and continue the reaction for 2 h. Filter the reaction solution to remove t-BuOK and collect the filtrate. Remove the solvent under vacuum, and purify the residue by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether / CH2Cl2 = 1:1.5) to obtain a blue-green solid, SDBr-CN, in 84% (366 mg) yield. HRMS (MALDI-TOF) m / z: Calcd for C 46 H 31 Br2N2S2O4[M] + 900.0150; Found:900.0153(error=0.3ppm).

[0065] SDBr-CN (300 mg, 0.333 mmol), 2,5-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-3,6-bis(5-(trimethylstanyl)thiophen-2-yl)-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (330 mg, 0.333 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (18 mg, 0.015 mmol), and P(o-tol)3 (30 mg, 0.09 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous toluene (15 mL). The mixture was subjected to a freeze-pump-thaw cycle three times, and then stirred at 110 °C under argon for 24 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into 200 mL of acetone. After stirring for 30 min, the solution was filtered, and the polymer solid was collected. Then, it was purified by Soxhlet extraction with acetone, petroleum ether, and chloroform under argon. After removing the solution, precipitation with acetone yielded a dark blue film with a polymer RPC yield of 97% (522 mg). The weight-average molecular weight was 58.5 kDa, the number-average molecular weight was 29.7 kDa, and the polymer molecular weight distribution index was 1.97.

[0066] In this invention, the structures of SDBr-H and SDBr-CN were confirmed using variable-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, and single-crystal structure analysis. These were then used as monomers to synthesize the polymers RPH and RPC. The molecular weight and thermal stability of the polymers were characterized using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that both polymers were successfully synthesized and exhibited good thermal stability, with thermal stability temperatures exceeding 300℃. Figure 9 The UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra (a and b) and cyclic voltammetry curves (c and d) of toluene solutions of compounds SDBr-H and SDBr-CN, and polymers RPH and RPC in Examples 1 and 2 are shown in Table 1. The related photophysical properties are also shown in Table 1. Electronic absorption spectroscopy results show that the maximum absorption wavelengths of compounds SDBr-H and SDBr-CN are 632 nm and 648 nm, respectively, with the absorption range broadened to 800 nm. After polymerization, the absorption spectra of polymers RPH and RPC are significantly broadened compared to the monomers SDBr-H and SDBr-CN, with maximum absorption wavelengths of 972 nm and 1043 nm, respectively, and a redshift wavelength exceeding 300 nm. Their sideband absorption is close to 1600 nm, according to formula E... g =1240 / λ to calculate (Eg is the optical band gap, λ is the maximum absorption sideband value of the thin film) to obtain the minimum optical band gap. It is 0.77 eV.

[0067] Depend on Figure 9It is evident that the diradical monomers exhibit triple quasi-reversible redox peaks. Specifically, SDBr-CN (0.91 / –0.31 / –0.68 eV) shows a redox potential shifting towards the anolyte compared to SDBr-H (0.72 / –0.68 / –0.89 eV), due to the introduction of the strongly electron-deficient cyano group in the open-shell molecule. The highest occupied orbital (HOMO) / lowest unoccupied orbital (LUMO) energy levels of SDBr-H and SDBr-CN, calculated from the first redox potential of the molecules, are –5.52 / –4.12 eV and –5.71 / –4.49 eV, respectively. Due to the introduction of multiple radicals, the polymers RPH and RPC exhibit more complex redox behavior, with HOMO / LUMO energy levels of –5.40 / –4.26 eV (RPH) and –5.38 / –4.54 eV (RPC), respectively.

[0068] Figure 10 For the magnetic testing of polymer RPH in Example 1, the temperature-dependent electron spin resonance (VT-ESR) of its toluene solution showed that the signal intensity increased with decreasing temperature, suggesting it may possess a doublet ground state. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) testing showed that, under a magnetic field strength of 0.1 T, within a temperature range of 2–400 K, the solid-state magnetic response of polymer RPH decreased with increasing temperature, exhibiting paramagnetism. Subsequently, at 300 K, the magnetic susceptibility of RPH was tested as a function of magnetic field strength; the test curve showed significant hysteresis, indicating its weak ferromagnetism.

[0069] Figure 11 For the magnetic testing of polymer RPC in Example 2, the VT-ESR test trend of its toluene solution is similar to that of RPH, indicating that it may have a doublet ground state. Meanwhile, SQUID testing shows that under a magnetic field strength of 0.1T, in a temperature range of 2–400K, the solid-state magnetic response of polymer RPC decreases with increasing temperature, exhibiting paramagnetism.

[0070] This invention employs a top-gate-bottom-contact (TGBC) device structure to study the thin-film semiconductor properties of conjugated radical polymers RPH and RPC. A schematic diagram of the device structure is shown below. Figure 12 As shown. The specific steps are as follows:

[0071] First, the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate was cleaned with deionized water and ethanol, and then dried under a nitrogen stream. Using a shadow mask technique, a 30 nm Au film was deposited on the PET substrate surface as the source / drain (S / D) electrode, with a channel length (L) of 50 μm and a channel width (W) of 4200 μm. Polymers RPH and RPC were first stirred for 5 hours and then dissolved in an HPLC-grade anhydrous chlorobenzene (CB) solution (80 °C, 6 mg / mL), followed by aging in a glove box filled with N2 for at least 12 hours. The polymer film was then spin-coated onto a substrate with gold electrodes (1800 rpm / 60 s), followed by thermal annealing at 160 °C for 30 minutes in a glove box. Finally, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, Mw = 996 kDa, Ci ≈ 3.5 nF cm⁻¹) was spin-coated onto the substrate. –2 ) n-butyl acetate solution (80 mg / mL) –1 A 900nm PMMA dielectric layer was deposited on the active layer surface and annealed at 90°C for 30 minutes to remove organic solvents.
