To review the design, structural characterization, and device performance of planar π-conjugated organic semiconductors engineered using intramolecular noncovalent conformational locks.
Summarized design strategies incorporating through-space intramolecular interactions, including O···S, N···S, X···S (X = Cl, Br, F), and H···S motifs.
Surveyed structural and electronic analyses utilizing density functional theory (DFT) computations, X-ray diffraction, and microstructural characterization.
Evaluated charge carrier transport performance in organic thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaic solar cells.
Noncovalent conformational locks effectively restrict rotational freedom along single bonds, providing molecular planarity and rigidity comparable to covalently locked systems without multi-step synthetic complexity.
Targeted intramolecular interactions enhance intermolecular packing and solid-state ordering, facilitating efficient charge transport in organic thin-film transistors and improving solar cell efficiency.
