Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing doped organic semiconductor materials as well as a formulation which may be utilized in that method. The doped organic semiconductor materials are prepared by preparing a solution or suspension containing at least one dopant precursor, at least one organic material to be doped, and a solvent. The solution or suspension is then applied onto a substrate. After removing the solvent, the dopant precursor is converted into a dopant by application of activation energy. The dopant precursor, which is a dimer, oligomer, polymer, dispiro compound, or polycycle, is cleaved by the application of activation energy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of heterocyclic radicals or diradicals, their dimers, oligomers, polymers, dispiro compounds and polycycles for use as dopant for doping an organic semiconductive matrix material, where the dopants have a structure based on the following formulae.

Abstract: A method of using a metal complex as an n-dopant for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material in order to alter the latter's electrical characteristics is provided. In order to provide n-doped organic semiconductors with matrix materials having a low reduction potential, while achieving high conductivities, the n-dopant is a neutral electron-rich metal complex with a neutral or charged transition metal atom as a central atom and having at least 16 valence electrons. The complex can be polynuclear and can possess at least one metal-metal bond. At least one ligand can form a ? complex with the central atom, which can be a bridge ligand, or it can contain at least one carbanion-carbon atom or a divalent atom. Methods for providing the novel n-dopants are provided.
