Azulene, a bicyclic nonbenzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon, shows completely different physicochemical properties compared with its isomeric naphthalene. Herein, we made use of the diverse reactivity of each position on azulene to design a new synthetic strategy for azulene-based diimides bridged by phenyl or thieno[3, 2-b]thiophenyl group, 2-(azulen-2'-yl)-5-(azulen-2''-yl)benzene-1, 1':4, 1''-tetracarboxylic diimides (AzAzBDI-1/2) and 2-(azulen-2'-yl)-5- (azulen-2''-yl)thieno[3, 2-b]thiophene-3, 1':6, 1''-tetracarboxylic diimide (AzAzTTDI). The key step was double trifluoroacetylation at 1-position of two azulene moieties of the molecule followed by hydrolysis, anhydridization and imidization to obtain the target compounds. The single crystal structure analysis demonstrates that AzAzBDI-2 has twisted molecular backbone. The adjacent two molecules form a dimer through the intermolecular π-π stacking (0.365 nm) between the five-membered ring and the seven-membered ring of two different azulene units. Strong π-π intermolecular interactions (0.355 nm) exist among the dimers to form a slipped one-dimensional (1D) packing motif in the crystal. For three compounds, the optoelectronic properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectra and cyclic voltammetry, and their energy levels of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the energy gaps were calculated. The HOMO/LUMO energy levels of AzAzBDI-1, AzAzBDI-2 and AzAzTTDI are －5.56/－3.28 eV, －5.56/ －3.30 eV and －5.57/－3.42 eV, respectively. The end absorptions of AzAzBDI-1, AzAzBDI-2 and AzAzTTDI in thin films show obvious red-shift (13, 13 and 25 nm) relative to those in CHCl₃ solution, indicating strong intermolecular interactions in solid state. The charge carrier transport properties of three compounds were studied through organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Bottom-gate and top-contact OFET devices of AzAzBDI-1, AzAzBDI-2 and AzAzTTDI were fabricated by spin-coated their respective solution on octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS)-treated SiO₂/Si substrates. Under nitrogen atmosphere, all of these three compounds displayed electron-dominated ambipolar organic semiconductor characteristics. The electron mobilities of AzAzBDI-1 and AzAzBDI-2 were 0.068 cm²·V^－1·s^－1 and 0.086 cm²·V^－1·s^－1 and the hole mobility were 3.1×10^－4 cm²·V^－1·s^－1 and 1.5×10^－3 cm²·V^－1·s^－1, respectively. OFETs based on AzAzTTDI showed the highest electron mobility and hole mobilities of 0.087 cm²·V^－1·s^－1 and 8.8×10^－3 cm²·V^－1·s^－1, respectively. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies demonstrate thin films of AzAzBDI-1, AzAzBDI-2 and AzAzTTDI show better crystallinity and form larger size of microstructures by annealing, which is consistent with the enhanced device performance after thermal annealing.
