To p-dope organic semiconductors F4TCNQ is commonly used. This doping mechanism relies on the electron transfer from the HOMO of the semiconductor to the LUMO of the dopant. This occurs by a match of those energy levels. For a solution-processed semiconductor this approach suffers from the differential solubility of the dopant, the charge-transfer complex and of the polymer what ultimately limits the processability of the doped semiconductor. In this study we use electrophilic Lewis acids to p-dope conjugated polymers. Work by Zalar et al. (Adv. Mat. 2014, 26, 727-727) showed an increased mobility after addition of Lewis acid. Yet the mechanism behind this doping approach is still elusive. To understand this approach we systematically investigate the effect of structural and electronic factors by varying, e.g., the donor and acceptor strength of the polymer. Optical and electrical characterization, using, e.g., optical spectroscopy and EPR, were performed to understand the influence of the adduct formation on the properties of the polymer.
