Abstract
Drift mobility of electrons in copolymers containing pyrazolyl fragment in the main or side chain of the copolymer is studied experimentally using the time-of-flight method. The mobility is an exponential function of the applied electric field, and its values for the copolymers range from 5 × 10–7 to 2 × 10–5 cm2 V–1 s–1 at the field strength ranging from 5 × 104 to 1 × 106 V cm–1. Based on the measured mobilities and the molecule parameters, which were obtained by a PM3 quantum-chemical calculation, the role of copolymer fragments in the transport of charge carriers is discussed.
