Photoinduced energy transfer and charge separation were studied in methanesulfonic acid (MSA) solution via absorption, excitation, and steady-state fluorescence studies. Excitation of the bisoxazole moiety resulted in enhanced emission from the perylene bisimide unit as a result of FRET (Forster resonance energy transfer). The influence of the imide substitution into the linear chain of poly(benzobisoxazole) (PBO) on its solid-state packing was examined by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) analysis. Bottom contact field effect transistors (FET) based on thermally annealed polymer films were fabricated and studied. The polymers showed n-type charge transport and current modulation with an on/off ratio greater than 10(2). It was observed that the FETs consisting of the random copolymer of bisoxazole containing both perylene as well as naphthalene bisimide units had higher performance parameters such as better mobility (mu e) and I(on)/I(off) ratio compared to those of the pristine systems.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.603</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kolhe, Nagesh B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devi, R.

One series of NDI derivatives had a terminal phenyl ring attached to a hexyl spacer substituted naphthalene core either through an ester or an amide linkage (NDI-E and NDI-A, respectively), while the other series had a 3,4,5-tridodecyloxy phenyl unit (NDI-E3, NDI-A3) instead of the terminal phenyl unit. Solution processed thin films of these molecules exhibited n-type charge transport characteristics in a bottom gate top contact organic field effect transistor (OFET) geometry. The amide derivatives showed evidence of self-organization with observation of red shifted aggregate emission in solution as well as solid state. Variable temperature FTIR studies in the solid state confirmed the existence of strong hydrogen bonding which could be broken only at very high temperature. However, contrary to expectations, the NDI ester derivatives showed better device efficiency with electron mobilities in the range 8.5 x 10(-3) to 2 x 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and on/off ratio similar to 10(4). The thin film crystallinity and morphology of NDI-E and NDI-A were examined through X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The correlation of crystallinity, hydrogen bonding and charge carrier mobility was studied using energy minimized structures from density functional theory (DFT). The higher electron mobility of ester linked NDI derivatives over the amide linked ones was attributed to the freedom in charge transport pathways offered by a three dimensional crystalline organization in the ester compared to the restricted directional hydrogen bonding interaction in the amide derivatives.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.67</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
