Reducing dynamic disorder in small-molecule organic semiconductors by suppressing large-amplitude thermal motions
Thermal vibration is harmful to charge transport in molecular semiconductors, which hinders the use of these materials in flexible electronics. Here, Illig et al.show that the vibration is suppressed when molecular side chains are attached to the long axis of conjugated cores.
