| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop new acceptors for thin-film organic solar cells of bulk-hetero-junction type, we synthesized new polycyclcic aromatic hydrocarbons bearing a biindenylidene substructure, which was expected to function as a key component of good acceptors, by dimerization of indenofluorene intermediates generated in situ, and investigated their performance as acceptor components of bulk-hetero-junction potovoltaics. As a result, the target compound was revealed to exhibit better photoenergy conversion efficiency than the commonly used fullerene derivative. However, the synthesis of its derivatives turned out to be limited because of narrow scope of the key reaction with respect to the substituents. The reason for the limited scope was elucidated by theoretical calculations. Moreover, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon having a structure similar to that of the target compound was synthesized.
