Popis: Silicon- and carbon-bridged polythiophenes, dithienosilole (DTS) and cyclopentadithiophene (DTC) homopolymers with 2-ethylhexyl or n-octyl substituents on the bridging atom, were synthesized and their optical and electrochemical properties were investigated. OFET devices containing the present polymer films as the active layers were fabricated to investigate their carrier transport properties. The device based on a DTS polymer with n-octyl substituents showed much higher carrier mobility than that of the DTC polymer with the same substituents.
