The novel methyl-substituted dicyanovinyl-capped quinquethiophenes 1-3 led to highly efficient organic solar cells with power conversion efficiencies of 4.8-6.9%. X-ray analysis single crystals and evaporated neat blend films gave insights into the packing morphological behavior compounds that rationalized their improved photovoltaic performance.
Abstract Efficient synthesis of a series terminally dicyanovinyl (DCV)‐substituted oligothiophenes, DCV n T 1–6, without solubilizing side chains synthesized via novel convergent approach and their application as electron donors in vacuum‐processed m‐i‐p‐type planar p‐i‐n‐type bulk heterojunction organic solar cells is described.
