Molecular orientation-dependent energetic shifts in solution-processed non-fullerene acceptors and their impact on organic photovoltaic performance

Non-fullerene acceptors with large quadrupole moments strongly affect thin-film energetics. Here, the authors show a significant energetic shift (>200 meV) of Y6 upon changing its orientation from face-on to more edge-on using different solvents and its critical impact on organic photovoltaics.
