摘要: We use 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene as a model small molecule organic semiconductor and two conjugated polymer additives to demonstrate polymer-mediated polymorphism of for the first time. The additives, used with slow solution crystallization approach, yield crystal structures that are not accessible by nonconjugated impart excellent long-range order. In both semiconductor/conjugated blends studied here, previously unreported polymorphs have been identified which also leads improved charge transport in absence external alignment. These results open up new exciting avenue manipulate unit cell structure, order, high performance, solution-processed, semiconductors.
