Donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers comprising electron-deficient aromatic dicarboximide units represent an important type of organic semiconductors, especially for electron transporting properties. Pyrene-1,5,6,10-tetracarboxyl diimide (PyDI), a new PAH dicarboximide molecule recently reported by us, provides a fine balance between the electron-stabilizing ability and π-stacking tendency, as compared to the naphthalenediimide (NDI) and perylenediimide (PDI) analogues. In this study, using thienylene-vinylene-thienylene (TVT) and biselenophene (BS) as the electron donating comonomer, along with PyDI as the acceptor moiety, we develop two new D-A type conjugated polymers, which exhibit impressive electron-transporting performance. Specifically, in the solution-processed OFET devices, electron mobility of 0.18 and 0.20 cm
2 ·V−1 ·s−1 are achieved with these polymers, respectively. Such findings further prove the optimal potential of PyDI for application as an electron-acceptor building block in the development of polymeric n-type semiconductors among all various high-performance functional D-A polymers.
