The general photocrosslinking of semiconducting polymers is limited by efficiency and semiconductor property degradation. Here, the authors show that fluorinated phenyl azides can be molecularly designed to improve photolysis efficiency, and induce favourable partitioning of the crosslinker amongst the alkyl side chains of the polymer, thereby achieving high crosslinking efficiency without diminishing semiconducting properties.
