Abstract
A new star-shaped small molecule BDPP-1 based on 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene as a core and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as rigid arms have been successfully designed and synthesized. The thermal stability, photophysical and electrochemical properties were explored. The synthesized star-shaped small molecule BDPP-1 exhibited excellent solubility, high thermal stability, broad and strong absorption, narrow band gap and appropriate molecular levels. Moreover, the photoinduced charge separation process between the synthesized donor and acceptor PC61BM was evaluated by the fluorescence quenching experiment, revealing that the donor material BDPP-1 possessed efficient photoinduced charge separation performance. These detailed investigations on the structure-property relationship of the novel star-shaped molecule revealed that BDPP-1 is a prospective candidate as a donor material for organic photovoltaic materials.

Abstract
This article is written from an organic chemist's point of view and provides an up-to-date review about organic solar cells based on small molecules or oligomers as absorbers and in detail deals with devices that incorporate planar-heterojunctions (PHJ) and bulk heterojunctions (BHJ) between a donor (p-type semiconductor) and an acceptor (n-type semiconductor) material. The article pays particular attention to the design and development of molecular materials and their performance in corresponding devices. In recent years, a substantial amount of both, academic and industrial research, has been directed towards organic solar cells, in an effort to develop new materials and to improve their tunability, processability, power conversion efficiency, and stability. On the eve of commercialization of organic solar cells, this review provides an overview over efficiencies attained with small molecules/oligomers in OSCs and reflects materials and device concepts developed over the last decade. Approaches to enhancing the efficiency of organic solar cells are analyzed.
