Unraveling the Photophysical Characteristics, Aromaticity, and Stability of π-Extended Acene-Quinodimethyl Thioamides†. Chemphyschem 2023; 24:e202200906. [PMID: 37545345 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202200906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Poly-aromatic systems that contain quinodimethyl (QDM) units are appealing for several photonic and spintronic applications owing to the unique electronic structure, aromaticity, and spin state(s) of the QDM ring. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel QDM-based chromophores 1-3, which exhibit unique photo-excited behavior and aromaticity. Extending the aromatic core with a biphenyl/phenanthryl- and a pyrrolo-fragment led to reducing the optoelectronic bandgap and modulating the photophysics QDM 1-3. Yet, QDM 2 and 3 suffer from "aromaticity imbalance" and become relatively unstable compared to the parent compound QDM 1. Further assessment of local aromaticity using computational tools revealed that the pseudo-quinoidal ring B is the main driving force allowing to easily populate the excited triplet state of these chromophores. The present study provides complementary guidelines for designing novel non-classical poly-aromatic systems.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic semiconductors have opened up many exciting opportunities for organic photovoltaic (OPV) research. For example, new chemistries and synthetical methodologies have been developed; especially, the breakthrough Y-series acceptors, originally invented by our group, specifically Y1, Y3, and Y6, have contributed immensely to boosting single-junction solar cell efficiency to around 19%; novel device architectures such as tandem and transparent organic photovoltaics have been realized. The concept of NIR donors/acceptors thus becomes a turning point in the OPV field. Here, the development of NIR-absorbing materials for OPVs is reviewed. According to the low-energy absorption window, here, NIR photovoltaic materials (p-type (polymers) and n-type (fullerene and nonfullerene)) are classified into four categories: 700-800 nm, 800-900 nm, 900-1000 nm, and greater than 1000 nm. Each subsection covers the design, synthesis, and utilization of various types of donor (D) and acceptor (A) units. The structure-property relationship between various kinds of D, A units and absorption window are constructed to satisfy requirements for different applications. Subsequently, a variety of applications realized by NIR materials, including transparent OPVs, tandem OPVs, photodetectors, are presented. Finally, challenges and future development of novel NIR materials for the next-generation organic photovoltaics and beyond are discussed.

Abstract
The physical factors governing the regioselectivity of the double functionalization of fullerenes have been explored by means of density functional theory calculations. To this end, the second Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions involving 1,3-butadiene and the parent C60 fullerene as well as the ion-encapsulated system Li+@C60 have been selected. In agreement with previous experimental findings on related processes, it is found that the cycloaddition reaction, involving either C60 or Li+@C60, occurs selectively at specific [6,6]-bonds. The combination of the activation strain model of reactivity and the energy decomposition analysis methods has been applied to gain a quantitative understanding into the markedly different reactivity of the available [6,6]-bonds leading to the observed regioselectivity in the transformation.

Abstract
Indolizino[5,6-b]quinoxaline derivatives (1 a and 1 b) with a push-pull structure were prepared to show intramolecular charge-transfer properties. Compounds 1 a and 1 b are strongly fluorescent in aprotic solvents while symmetrical derivatives (2 a and 2 b) were non-fluorescent. The π-expanded α-α linked dimer (10) of indolizino[5,6-b]quinoxaline 1 b was serendipitously obtained to show NIR absorption over 800 nm and the fluorescence edge reached to 1400 nm.

BHJ-OSCs incorporating P3HT as donor and TQMA (or TQBA) as acceptor exhibit an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.76 V (or 0.84 V), which is about 0.12 V (or 0.20 V) higher than PCBM as electron acceptor.
