Indeno[1,2-b]thiophene End-capped Perylene Diimide: Should the 1,6-Regioisomers be systematically considered as a byproduct?
Usually considered as a byproduct, the 1,6- dibrominated PDI has rarely been functionalized for the preparation of electro-active conjugated molecules, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics. In light of the literature, one can ask oneself: Does a 1,7 -isomer based functional molecule sy...

Zusammenfassung: | Usually considered as a byproduct, the
1,6-
dibrominated PDI has rarely been functionalized for the preparation of electro-active conjugated molecules, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics. In light of the literature, one can ask oneself: Does a
1,7
-isomer based functional molecule systematically perform better than its
1,6
-analogue? To answer this question, we report herein the synthesis and direct comparison of two indeno[1,2-
b
]thiophene (IDT) end-capped perylene diimide regioisomers (PDI) (
1,6
and
1,7
) used as non-fullerene acceptors in organic solar cells. It turned out that in our case,
ie
, when blended with the well-known PTB7-Th donor polymer, higher performance was reached for devices made with the
1,6
-analogue. |
