Fullerene bis-adducts are increasingly being studied to gain a high open circuit voltage (Voc) in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics (OPVs). We designed and synthesized homo and hetero bis-adduct [60]fullerenes by combining fused cyclohexanone or a five-membered spiro-acetalized unit (SAF5)...

Interactions between designed charged species are important for the ordered arrangements of π-electron systems in assembled structures. As precursors of π-electron anion units, new arylethynyl-substituted dipyrrolyldiketone boron complexes, which showed anion-responsive behavior, were synthesized. They formed a variety of...

Synthesis of the title benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophenes was achieved using 2-ethylhexyl 3,7-dihydroxybenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarboxylate as the common starting material. The effect of the introduction of phenyl and styryl groups as well as thieno-annulation to the benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene core on π-conjugation was estimated by means...

Equimolar mixtures of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (LiTFSA) and tetraglyme (G4: CH3O-(CH2CH2O)4-CH3) yield the solvate (or chelate) ionic liquid [Li(G4)][TFSA], which is a homogeneous transparent solution at room temperature. Solvate ionic liquids (SILs) are currently attracting increasing research interest, especially as...
