This is the first study of thin films containing perfluorinated sexithiophene (PF6T), a molecule which was firstly synthesized in 2001 [1]. We found a new thin film polymorph and a coexistence of lying-down and standing-up molecules depending on the substrate temperature during organic molecular beam deposition [2]. Furthermore, we prepared blended thin films by co-evaporation of PF6T and its non-fluorinated counterpart 6T at different mixing ratios and examined their morphology, as well as their electronic and optical properties [2]. Atomic force microscopy shows a continuous transition from terraced islands to tall columnar features with increasing amount of PF6T. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that an excess of 6T-molecules is segregated from a statistically mixed phase. Finally, UPS data and optical absorption measurements suggest that 6T-PF6T blends could serve as a donor-acceptor system for optoelectronic applications.
