New conjugated molecular scaffolds based on [2,2]paracyclophane as electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Sep 7;50(69):9939-42. doi: 10.1039/c4cc04384g.

Abstract

Two conjugated molecules with a [2,2]paracyclophane core were designed as non-fullerene electron acceptors for photovoltaic cells. Using as the donor, a high power conversion efficiency (2.69%) is achieved for the blending thin film of with , which is relatively high for solution-processed OPVs based on small molecular non-fullerene acceptors and as the electron donor.
