Water robustness of organic thin-film transistors based on pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline-dione conjugated polymer

A robust air and water stable π-conjugated polymer based on pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline-2,7-dione (PQD) modified with long alkyl side chains on both the donor and acceptor units (PQD-HD-4T-DD) was synthesized and demonstrated to be a novel semiconducting layer for highly air and water stable organic...
