A direct arylation approach towards efficient small molecule organic solar cells

Three extended molecular chromophores, differing in their central acceptor moiety and specifically designed as electron donor components for small molecule organic solar cells, are synthesized via a two-fold-C-H arylation protocol. Upon removal of the side products inherent to the applied direct (hetero) arylation procedure, a record power conversion efficiency of 5.1% is achieved.
