| dc.description.abstract | Reported within is the development of a new acid-catalyzed synthesis that provides access to alcohol-processable bay-substituted N-H functionalized PDI derivatives. The results were published in a recent manuscript and have been included in Chapters 1 and 2 of this thesis. Full structural and optoelectronic characterization was performed including optical absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), H-NMR spectroscopy, C-NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, CHN elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Molecular design considerations are presented in the context of density functional theory (DFT) energy level diagrams from collaborators in the Rondeau-Gagné lab at University of Windsor. Organic field effect transistor (OFET) device data was collected via our collaboration with the Lessard lab at University of Ottawa. This thesis strives to highlight multiple ways in which our new synthetic method can be utilized to provide high performing and green solvent processable OFET materials. Successes and failures of the synthesis of new targets are documented and discussed with respect to electronic structure considerations. | en_US |
