Carbazole and Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based D-A π-Conjugated Oligomers Accessed via Direct C–H Arylation for Opto-Electronic Property and Performance Study

Five carbazole and diketopyrrolopyrrole-based donor-acceptor (D-A) new π-conjugated oligomers (π-COs) with gradually elongated lengths are facilely synthesized via a single pot of direct C–H arylation with merits of atom- and step-economy. The structure-property-performance correlations of these π-C...

description Five carbazole and diketopyrrolopyrrole-based donor-acceptor (D-A) new π-conjugated oligomers (π-COs) with gradually elongated lengths are facilely synthesized via a single pot of direct C–H arylation with merits of atom- and step-economy. The structure-property-performance correlations of these π-COs and their parent polymer are studied in detail by opto-electronic characterizations and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. It is found that the π-COs having longer lengths enable better performance in OPVs owing to the enhanced intermolecular interaction with the elongation of the conjugations. The above results not only highlight the powerful synthetic strategy here provided, but also reveal that π-COs with unique properties might find promising application in OPVs.
