Diarylindenotetracenes via a Selective Cross-Coupling/C–H Functionalization: Electron Donors for Organic Photovoltaic Cells

Abstract

A direct synthesis of new donor materials for organic photovoltaic cells is reported. Diaryindenotetracenes were synthesized utilizing a Kumada–Tamao–Corriu cross-coupling of <i>peri-</i>substituted tetrachlorotetracene with spontaneous indene annulation via C–H activation. Vacuum deposited planar heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells incorporating these molecules as electron donors exhibit power conversion efficiencies exceeding 1.5% with open-circuit voltages ranging from 0.7 to 1.1 V when coupled with C<sub>60</sub> as an electron acceptor
