title: Organic ambipolar conjugated molecules for electronics: synthesis and structure-property relationships.
abstract: The field of organic electronics has been developed vastly in the past two decades, and the performance and lifetime of these devices are critically dependent on the materials development, device design, deposition processes, and modeling, among which the active materials of organic semiconductor play a crucial role. The unique properties of organic semiconductor are largely based on the versatility to synthesize multifunctional organic conjugated materials by judicious molecular design. To effectively adjust the optoelectronic properties, especially energy levels, of organic semiconductor, the scientists have presented a synthesis methodology of organic ambipolar conjugated molecules, in which typical p-dope type and n-dope type segments are incorporated into one molecule. The present review summarizes the progress on organic ambipolar conjugated molecules for electronics in the past few years. Some issues to be addressed are also highlighted and discussed.
