Porphyrin-based molecules have been widely used in dye-sensitized solar cells and bulk heterojunction solar cells, but their application in field-effect transistors (FETs) is limited. In this work, two conjugated polymers based on diketopyrrolopyrrole and porphyrin units were developed for FETs. The polymers exhibit extra-low band gap with energy levels close to −4.0 eV and −5.0 eV due to the strong electron-donating and withdrawing ability of porphyrin and diketopyrrolopyrrole. With additionally high crystalline properties, ambipolar charge carrier transports with a hole mobility of 0.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 in FETs were realized in these polymers, representing the highest performance in solution-processed FETs based on porphyrin unit. Mind the gap: Small-band-gap diketopyrrolopyrrole-porphyrin based conjugated polymers were developed for application in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors, in which the hole and electron mobility of 0.1 and 0.004 cm2 V−1 s−1 was achieved.
