Di-2-(2-oxindolin-3-ylidene)malononitrile Derivatives for N-Type Air-Stable Organic Field-Effect Transistors

The nitrogenization of phenyl rings on DIM derivatives not only enhances molecular coplanarity but also stabilizes molecular LUMO levels, favoring charge transfer and improving air stability. Therefore, n-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) that are based on DIM-N2C8 with nitrogen atoms on both sides of the phenyl rings exhibit a moderate electron mobility of 0.059 cm V s under ambient conditions.
