Abstract
The competition between exciton dissociation and charge transport in organic solar cells comprising poly(3-hexylthiophene) [P3HT] and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester [PCBM] is investigated by correlated scanning confocal photoluminescence and photocurrent microscopies. Contrary to the general expectation that higher photoluminescence quenching is indicative of higher photocurrent, microscale mapping of bulk-heterojunction solar-cell devices shows that photoluminescence quenching and photocurrent can be inversely proportional to one another. To understand this phenomenon, we construct a model system by selectively laminating a PCBM layer onto a P3HT film to form a PCBM/P3HT planar junction on half of the device and a P3HT single junction on the other half. Upon thermal annealing to allow for interdiffusion of PCBM into P3HT, an inverse relationship between photoluminescence quenching and photocurrent is observed at the boundary between the PCBM/P3HT junction and P3HT layer. Incorporation of PCBM in P3HT works to increase photoluminescence quenching, consistent with efficient charge separation, but conductive atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that PCBM acts to decrease P3HT hole mobility, limiting the efficiency of charge transport. This suggests that photoluminescence-quenching measurements should be used with caution in evaluating new organic materials for organic solar cells.

Abstract
A series of Ru(II) 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) complexes with an electron-accepting dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz) ligand coupled to an electron-donating triarylamine (TAA) group have been investigated. Systematic alteration of a bridging unit between the dppz and TAA allowed exploration into how communication between the donor and acceptor is perturbed by distance, as well as by steric and electronic effects. The effect of the bridging group on the electronic properties of the systems was characterized using a variety of spectroscopic methods, including Fourier transform-Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, and transient resonance Raman (TR2) spectroscopy. These methods were used in conjunction with ground- and excited-state absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical studies, and DFT calculations. The ground-state electronic absorption spectra show distinct variation with the bridging group, with the wavelength observed for the lowest energy electronic transition ranging from 449 nm to 522 nm, accompanied by large changes in the molar absorptivity. The lowest-energy Franck-Condon state was determined to be intra-ligand charge transfer (ILCT) in nature for most compounds. The presence of higher-energy metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) Ru(II) → bpy and Ru(II) → dppz transitions was also confirmed via resonance Raman spectroscopy. The TR2 spectra showed characteristic dppz• - and TAA• + vibrations, indicating that the THEXI state formed was also ILCT in nature. Excited-state lifetime measurements reveal that the rate of decay is in accordance with the energy gap law and is not otherwise affected by the nature of the bridging unit.
