Abstract

A device including an electrode, the electrode having a surface; a molecule bound to the surface of the electrode through a binding group; an organic electronic material in electrical contact with the electrode, wherein the molecule comprises at least one fluorinated aryl group, wherein the electrode contains a transparent conductive metal oxide, a carbon nanotube, or graphene.

Claims (6)

1. A device comprising a) an electrode, the electrode having a surface; b) a molecule bound to the surface of the electrode; and c) an organic electronic material in electrical contact with the electrode, wherein the molecule comprises at least one fluorinated aryl group, wherein the electrode comprises a transparent conductive metal oxide, a carbon nanotube, or graphene; wherein the molecule is:

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electrode comprises a transparent conductive metal oxide.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the transparent conductive metal oxide comprises indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, zinc oxide, gallium aluminum zinc oxide, antimony tin oxide, fluorine tin oxide, cadmium oxide, or cadmium stannate.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the molecule constitutes a monolayer on the surface of the electrode.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electrode comprises indium tin oxide (ITO).

6. A composition of matter, comprising
