Abstract
Coordination bonding has been employed for the first time to control molecular orientation in thin films and is demonstrated by using tetrapyridylporphyrin. Changing the central metal ion of porphyrin controls the balance of the coordination bonding and hydrogen bonding, and edge-on orientation has been realized for the first time as well as face-on orientation. The mechanism of the film structure formation is comprehensively explained based on the electron configuration of the central metal ion.

Abstract
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a promising next-generation photovoltaic technology with great potential for wearable and transparent device applications. Over the past decades, remarkable advances in device efficiency close to 20 % have been made for bulk heterojunction (BHJ)-based OPV devices with long-term stability, and room for further improvements still exists. In recent years, ancillary components have been demonstrated as effective in improving the photovoltaic performance of OPVs by controlling the optoelectronic and morphological properties of BHJ blends. Herein, an updated understanding of polymer-based blend OPVs is provided, and the role and impact of ancillary components in various blend systems are categorized and discussed. Lastly, a strategic perspective on the ancillary components of blend-based OPVs for commercialization is provided.

Abstract
Owing to high resolution, reliability, and industrial compatibility, all-photolithography is a promising strategy for industrial manufacture of organic electronics. However, it receives limited success due to the absence of a semiconducting photoresist with high patterning resolution, mobility, and performance stability against photolithography solution processes. Here, we develop a comprehensive semiconducting photoresist with nano-interpenetrating structure. After photolithography, nanostructured cross-linking networks interpenetrate with continuous phases of semiconducting polymers, enabling submicrometer patterning accuracy and compact molecular stacking with high thermodynamic stability. The mobility reaches the highest values of photocrosslinkable organic semiconductors and maintains almost 100% after soaking in developer and stripper for 1000 min. Owing to the comprehensive performance, all-photolithography is achieved, which fabricates organic inverters and high-density transistor arrays with densities up to 1.1 × 105 units cm-2 and 1 to 4 orders larger than conventional printing processes, opening up a new approach toward manufacturing highly integrated organic circuits and systems.

Abstract
Dynamic-template-directed assembly is a promising method to enhance molecular ordering and electronic properties of solution-coated polymer semiconductor thin films over a large area. In this work, we establish that multicomponent dynamic templates of complementary chemistries can promote polymer crystallization through cooperative multivalent interactions. We investigate this phenomenon using a combination of templating substrates including a fluoropolymer, a hydrogen-bonded liquid, and an ionic liquid (IL). Template-dependent multiscale morphology is studied by a comprehensive set of characterization techniques to understand how introducing diverse chemical moieties modulates polymer assembly. Our results clearly confirm synergistic effects between components of complementary chemistries constituting the dynamic template. The relative degree of crystallinity is improved by 50-150% for films deposited on multicomponent dynamic templates compared to their neat constituents. In addition, macroscopic alignment is increased significantly (2-5 times) compared to single-component templates. As a result, highly anisotropic charge transport is observed with apparent hole mobilities up to 3.6 cm2 V-1 s-1. In contrast, such a synergistic effect is not observed when using a multicomponent dynamic template of comparable chemistries (i.e., IL and polymerized IL). We elucidate the origin of this synergistic effect by using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. When the dynamic template comprises two or more components interacting with complementary binding sites on the conjugated polymer (CP) (esp. backbone vs side chain), the template-polymer interactions is significantly enhanced compared to the sum of single component contributions. These results provide valuable insights into surface-directed CP crystallization during large-area solution coating. Template dynamics is rarely studied and represents a new opportunity for guiding assembly of soft functional matter.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2019; 31:e1903104.

Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed the rapid development of semiconducting polymers in terms of high charge mobilities and applications in transistors. Significant efforts have been made to develop various conjugated frameworks and linkers. However, studies are increasingly demonstrating that the side chains of semiconducting polymers can significantly affect interchain packing, thin film crystallinity, and thus semiconducting performance. Ways to modify the side alkyl chains to improve the interchain packing order and charge mobilities for conjugated polymers are first discussed. It is shown that modifying the branching chains by moving the branching points away from the backbones can boost the charge mobilities, which can also be improved through partially replacing branching chains with linear ones. Second, the effects of side chains with heteroatoms and functional groups are discussed. The siloxane-terminated side chains are utilized to enhance the semiconducting properties. The fluorinated alkyl chains are beneficial for improving both charge mobility and air stability. Incorporating H bonding group side chains can improve thin film crystallinities and boost charge mobilities. Notably, incorporating functional groups (e.g., glycol, tetrathiafulvalene, and thymine) into side chains can improve the selectivity of field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensors, while photochromic group containing side chains in conjugated polymers result in photoresponsive semiconductors and optically tunable FETs.
