Intermol. interactions have a critical role in determining the mol. packing and orientation of conjugated polymers and organic mols., leading to significant changes in their elec. and optical properties. Herein, the authors studied the effects of intermol. interactions of electron-donating small mols. on their structural, optical, and elec. properties, as well as on their performance in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Dithienosilole-based small mol. donors were synthesized by introducing different terminal groups of ester and amide groups combined with 3 different versions of alkyl side chains. In comparison to dithienosilole-based small mols. with ester terminal groups, those with amide terminal groups exhibit strong intermol. interaction by H bonding in a nondestructive manner. To control the intermol. distance during assembly and thus fine-tune the interaction between the small mol. donors, 3 different alkyl side chains (i.e., n-octyl, n-decyl, and 2-ethylhexyl chains) were introduced into both small mols. with amide and ester terminal groups. The mol. packing and orientation of the small mol. donors were dramatically changed upon modifying the terminal groups and the alkyl side chains, as evidenced by grazing incidence x-ray scattering (GIXS) measurements. This feature significantly affected the elec. properties of the small mols. in OFETs. The trends in the activation energies for charge transport and the hole mobilities in OFETs were consistent with the mol. ordering and orientation propensity. The nano-scale morphol. of small mols. blended with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid Me ester (PCBM) was also influenced by the intermol. interaction of small mol. donors. Power conversion efficiencies of >4.3% in OPVs were obtained from dithienosilole-based small mols. with ester terminal groups and linear side chains due to the optimized intermol. interaction and morphol. of the active layer.
