Abstract
Herein, we have designed a metal-free donor-acceptor dye by incorporating an electron deficient bisthiazole moiety as a linker in between the electron donor triphenylamine and cyanoacetic acid acceptor. The bisthiazole-based organic dye D1 was synthesized using the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling and Knoevenagel condensation reactions. On the basis of the optical, electrochemical, and computational studies, dye D1 showed a better electronic interaction between the donor and acceptor moieties. As-synthesized C 2 symmetric triphenylamine-linked bisthiazole-based organic dye D1 has four anchoring groups, which play a significant role for better adsorption on the ZnO surface along with the enhanced kinetics of photoexcited electron injection. Consequently, photovoltaic properties of the organic dye D1 has been carried out by fabricating the ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)-based solar device. We obtained the maximum incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency of about 56.20%, with a short-circuit photocurrent density (J sc) of 13.60 mA cm-2, which results in a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.94% under AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm-2). The high PCE value is the result of proficient electron injection from E LUMO of dye D1 to the conduction band of ZnO NPs, as suggested by the computational calculations. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement is carried out to calculate the electron lifetime and also reveals the insight to the reduced charge recombinations at the various active interfaces of the photovoltaic device.

Abstract
A series of symmetrical D-π-A-π-D molecules comprised of benzo[1,2-d;4,5-d']bisoxazole (BBO) and various arylenevinylenes was synthesized via a Knoevenagel condensation of 2,6-dimethyl BBO and the corresponding aryl aldehydes. The resulting compounds had energy levels that were easily modulated and broad absorptions in the visible spectrum. They also demonstrated high fluorescence quantum yields in solution. The solvatochromism of several derivatives was examined in a number of solvents, and it was found that the emission of the triphenylamine derivative varied by almost 100 nm, depending on the polarity of the solvent. Collectively, these results indicate that the optical and electronic properties of benzobisoxazoles are readily tuned through the choice of aryl co-monomer.
