Electronic devices using π-conjugated polymers are the subject of many papers. 1-4 Morphology of the π-conjugated polymer in cast or spin-coated film is considered to be an important factor to decide the device performances. 2 Recently, it has been demonstrated that some of π-conjugated polymers with alkyl side chains have a strong tendency to assume an ordered structure in cast films on various substrates, with the alkyl side chains oriented toward the surface of the substrate. 2, 5-10 An example of such alignment of head-to-tail-type poly (3-alkylthiophene-2, 5-diyl)(HT-P3RTh) is depicted in Figure 1; p-doped HT-P3RTh can also form such an ordered solid structure. 8b, c Chart 1 shows reported examples of π-conjugated polymers which give such an ordered structure on the surface of the substrate.One of the obvious features of such polymers is a large shift of the UV-vis peak to a longer wavelength in going from the solution to the solid state. 5-11 The shift (Δλ value in Chart 1) is usually larger than 50 nm, which suggests the presence of a strong intermolecular interaction between the polymer molecules and/or planarization effect of the π-conjugated polymer backbone in the solid. 5-16 In contrast, other polymers such as HT-poly (6-alkylpyridine-2, 5-diyl) gives only a small UV-vis shift
