Abstract
Square planar organoplatinum(II) complexes have garnered immense interest in the area of materials research. The combination of the Pt(II) fragment with mono-, bi- tri- and tetradentate organic ligands gives rise to a large variety of complexes with intriguing properties, especially cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes in which ligands are connected through covalent bonds demonstrate higher stability, excellent photoluminescence properties, and diverse applications. The properties and applications of the Pt(II)-based materials can be smartly fine-tuned via a judicious selection of the cyclometalating as well as ancillary ligands. In this review, attempts have been made to provide a brief review of the recent developments of neutral Pt(II) organometallic complexes bearing bidentate cyclometalating ligands and β-diketonate ancillary ligands, i.e., (C^N)Pt(O^O) and (C^C)Pt(O^O) derivatives. Both small (monomeric, dimeric) and large (polymeric) materials have been considered. We critically assessed the role of functionalities (ligands) on photophysical properties and their impact on applications.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the developments in the field of naphthalene diimides (NDIs) from 2016 to the presentday. NDIs are shown to be an increasingly interesting class of molecules due to their electronic properties, large electron deficient aromatic cores and tendency to self-assemble into functional structures. Almost all NDIs possess high electron affinity, good charge carrier mobility, and excellent thermal and oxidative stability, making them promising candidates for applications in organic electronics, photovoltaic devices, and flexible displays. NDIs have also been extensively studied due to their potential real-world uses across a wide variety of applications including supramolecular chemistry, sensing, host-guest complexes for molecular switching devices, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, ion-channels, catalysis, and medicine and as non-fullerene accepters in solar cells. In recent years, NDI research with respect to supramolecular assemblies and mechanoluminescent properties has also gained considerable traction. Thus, this review will assist a wide range of readers and researchers including chemists, physicists, biologists, medicinal chemists and materials scientists in understanding the scope for development and applicability of NDI dyes in their respective fields through a discussion of the main properties of NDI derivatives and of the status of emerging applications.

Abstract
Cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes have been investigated as promising electron donor (D) materials in organic solar cells (OSCs) due to their unique octahedral configuration for optimized morphology and their significantly long lifetimes potentially for enhanced exciton dissociation. However, the application as electron acceptor (A) materials has never been reported. In order to fill this blank, herein, two cyclometalated heteroleptic Ir complexes, TRIr and 2TRIr, based on electron donating-accepting type organic ligands with different π-conjugation lengths are reported as electron acceptor materials in comparison with their corresponding main organic ligands. The two Ir complexes exhibit suitable HOMO/LUMO energy levels of -5.55/-3.47 eV and -5.44/-3.48 eV, which are ∼0.1 eV higher in the HOMO and ∼0.15 eV deeper in the LUMO than the TR and 2TR ligands, respectively. 2TRIr with extended ligand π-conjugation displays a poor triplet feature, while TRIr demonstrates obvious metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition absorption, with a triplet component photoluminescence (PL) lifetime of 85 ns in neat films. When blended with PBDB-T in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OSCs, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are 2-3 times higher than their relevant ligands, with values of 1.20% and 1.62% for TRIr and 2TRIr, and 0.58% and 0.47% for the TR and 2TR ligand-based devices, respectively. TRIr and 2TRIr based active layer blends exhibit poorer hole and electron mobilities, whereas compared with their relatively linear planar ligands, both of the two octahedral Ir complexes exhibit an optimized surface morphology for less bimolecular recombination and more efficient exciton dissociation, thus contributing to improved photovoltaic performance.

Abstract
The electron-deficient ester group substitution in the sidechain of the commonly used electron-withdrawing quinoxaline (Qx) unit is seldom studied, while ester-substituted Qx units possess easy syntheses and facile modulation of the polymer solubility, and the enhanced electron-withdrawing property of ester substituted Qx unit can theoretically broaden the optical absorption of the resulting polymers and improve the open circuit voltage in the corresponding organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, a novel ester-substituted Qx-based narrow bandgap polymer (NBG) donor material PBDTT-EFQx, which exhibits an absorption edge of 790 nm (bandgap < 1.6 eV), is designed and synthesized. Results show that the OSCs composed of PBDTT-EFQx and PC71 BM present the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.8%, compared to PCEs of 5.0% for PBDTT-EFQx:ITIC based devices and 4.1% for PBDTT-EFQx:N2200 based devices, respectively. Characterizations and analyses indicate that the PC71 BM-based OSCs have well-matched energy levels, better complementary light absorption, the highest and most balanced carrier mobilities, as well as the lowest degree of recombination losses, and therefore, leading to the highest PCE among the three types of OSCs. This work reveals that the ester-substituted quinoxaline unit is one of the potential building blocks for NBG polymer donors.

Abstract
Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) have attracted broad attention and become a very energetic field after the emergence of nonfullerene acceptors. Long-lifetime triplet excitons are expected to be good candidates for efficiently harvesting a photocurrent. Parallel with the development of OPVs based on singlet materials (S-OPVs), the potential of triplet materials as photoactive layers has been explored. However, so far, OPVs employing triplet materials in a bulk heterojunction have not exhibited better performance than S-OPVs. Here, the recent progress of representative OPVs based on triplet materials (T-OPVs) is briefly summarized. Based on that, the performance limitations of T-OPVs are analyzed. The shortage of desired triplet materials with favorable optoelectronic properties for OPVs, the tradeoff between long lifetime and high binding energy of triplet excitons, as well as the low charge mobility in most triplet materials are crucial issues restraining the efficiencies of T-OPVs. To overcome these limitations, first, novel materials with desired optoelectronic properties are urgently demanded; second, systematic investigation on the contribution and dynamics of triplet excitons in T-OPVs is necessary; third, close multidisciplinary collaboration is required, as proved by the development of S-OPVs.

Abstract
The development of conjugated alternating donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers with various electron-rich and electron-deficient units in polymer backbones has boosted the power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 17% for polymer solar cells (PSCs) over the past two decades. However, further enhancements in PCEs for PSCs are still imperative to compensate their imperfect stability for fulfilling practical applications. Meanwhile development of these alternating D-A copolymers is highly demanding in creative design and syntheses of novel D and/or A monomers. In this regard, when being possible to adopt an existing monomer unit as a third component from its libraries, either a D' unit or an A' moiety, to the parent D-A type polymer backbones to afford conjugated D-A terpolymers, it will give a facile and cost-effective method to improve their light absorption and tune energy levels and also interchain packing synergistically. Moreover, the rationally controlled stoichiometry for these components in such terpolymers also provides access for further fine-tuning these factors, thus resulting in high-performance PSCs. Herein, based on their unique features, the recent progress of conjugated D-A terpolymers for efficient PSCs is reviewed and it is discussed how these factors influence their photovoltaic performance, for providing useful guidelines to design new terpolymers toward high-efficiency PSCs.
