The present invention relates to new semiconducting compounds having at least one optionally substituted benzo[d][1,2,3]thiadiazole moiety. The compounds disclosed herein can exhibit high carrier mobility and/or efficient light absorption/emission characteristics, and can possess certain processing advantages such as solution-processability and/or good stability at ambient conditions.

Molecular and polymeric semiconductors and related devices

The present teachings relate to new semiconducting compounds including one or more moieties represented by formula (I): wherein X is a chalcogen; and one or more linear conjugated moieties and/or one or more cyclic conjugated moieties other than the moieties represented by formula (I). The present compounds can be used to prepare thin film semiconductor components which can be incorporated into various electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices.

Semiconducting compounds and related devices

The present invention relates to certain polymeric compounds based upon a head-to-head (H&#x2014;H) alkylthio-substituted bithiophene repeating units (e.g., 3,3'-bis(tetradecylthio)-2,2&#x2032;-bithiophene). Such compounds can exhibit desirable electronic properties and possess processing advantages including solution-processability and/or good stability at ambient conditions.
