A Powerful Acceptor Building Block Useful for the Development of Organic Electronics Materials

3,7-Dihydrobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']difuran-2,6-dione (1) is a powerful electron acceptor building block useful for the development of π-conjugated polymers. Some polymers made from acceptor units containing 1 have been reported as n-type organic field-effect transistor (OFET) materials exhibiting high electron mobilities.^1-3) 1 is also gaining attention as a building block for organic thermoelectric materials, and organic thermoelectric materials with high electrical conductivities more than 10 Scm⁻¹ and high power factors more than 10 μWm⁻¹K⁻² have been realized.^4,5) These high performances are thought to be achieved by effective n-type doping through the deep lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels and good π-π stacking.^4,5) Furthermore, it have reported that a highly conductive and solution processable n-type conductive polymer with conductivities over 2000 Scm⁻¹ is synthesized through the oxidative polymerization of 1 and subsequent n-doping.^6,7)
