We investigate electrical and thermal properties of dithienopyran (DTP) based copolymers prepared with various electron-rich and electron-deficient moieties. With electron-rich moieties such as 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) and 5-fluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (FBT), DTP-based donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers showed remarkably improved carrier mobility and thermal stability in the wider range of processing temperatures compared to those of donor-donor (D-D) copolymers prepared with electron-deficient 2,2'-bithiophene (T2) and 1,2-di(thiophen-2-yl)ethane (TVT) moieties. The enhanced carrier mobility and thermal stability are attributed to high crystallinity of D-A copolymers sustainable in a wide range of processing temperatures confirmed by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and grazing-incidence wide angle X-ray diffraction. These results demonstrate that D-A configuration is a promising molecular framework for the development of thermally stable OFET-based electronics.
