We study the growth of two highly performing small molecule organic semiconductors from the perylene diimide family (PDIs) interesting for photovoltaic application due to their good electron-accepting properties [1]: PDIR-CN2 and PDIF-CN2 whose chemical structures differ only in the imide substituents: branched alkyl chains and linear fluoroalkyl chains, respectively. Both types of substituents introduce some degree of steric hindrance for intermolecular interaction affecting solid state packing during vacuum deposition and thus induce specific structure-dependent optoelectronic properties in thin films. The phase transition from an amorphous structure to crystalline domains was followed in situ and in real-time by X-ray diffraction as a function of substrate temperature. We examined the relationship between structural properties and optical signatures probed via differential reflectance spectroscopy in real-time, ellipsometry and photoluminescence. A new crystalline polymorph for PDIR-CN2 at high temperatures was found. We observed that the fluorinated chains contribute to crystallization inhibition and surface roughening due to their high electron density. [1] V. Belova et al., JACS, 139, 8474 (2017).
