We developed a series of perylene bisimide (PBI)-based small molecules with donoracceptor (DA) architecture (PBI1, PBI2, and PBI3). By tuning the DA architecture, intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) could be controlled; as a result, optical band gaps and HOMO levels of PBI13 were widely tunable from 1.83 to 1.44 eV and from 5.85 to 5.55 eV, respectively. Furthermore, extremely wide light absorption over 900 nm was observed in the thermal annealed PBI13 blend film. The grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) analysis demonstrated that the as-spun PBI2 thin film had the highest ordered nanostructure among PBI13, in which diffraction corresponding to φφ stacking was clearly observed in isotropic orientations.

An electron-transport polymer with good solution processibility, excellent thermal stability, and high electron affinity based on alternating perylene diimide and dithienothiophene units has been synthesized. Electron mobilities as high as 1.3 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1have been measured in field-effect transistor geometry. The polymer shows broad absorptions throughout the visible and extending into the near-IR. A power conversion efficiency of over 1%, under simulated AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2, was measured for a single-layer solar cell using this polymer as an acceptor and a polythiophene derivative as a donor.

Donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated copolymers are one of known classes of organic optoelectronic materials and have been well developed. However, less attention has been paid on acceptor-acceptor (A-A) conjugated analogs. In this work, two types of A-A conjugated copolymers, namely P1-Cn and P2-Cn (n is the carbon number of their alkyl side chains), were designed and synthesized based on perylenediimide (PDI) and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT). Different from P1-Cn, P2-Cn polymers have additional acetylene π-spacers between PDI and BT and thus hold a more planar backbone configuration. Property studies revealed that P2-Cn polymers possess a much red-extended UV-vis absorption spectrum, stronger π-π interchain interactions, and one-order larger electron mobility in their neat film state than P1-Cn. However, all-polymer solar cells using P1-Cn as acceptor component and poly(3-hexyl thiophene) or poly(2,7-(9,9-didodecyl- fluoene)-alt-5,5′-(4,7-dithienyl-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) as donor component exhibited much better performance than those based on P2-Cn. Apart from their backbone chemical structure, the side chains were found to have little influence on the photophysical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties for both P1-Cn and P2-Cn polymers. 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chem. 2014, 52, 1200-1215 Two types of acceptor-acceptor conjugated copolymers are designed and synthesized based on perylenediimide (PDI) and benzothiadiazole (BT) with and without acetylene π-spacers between PDI and BT units in their backbones. Their basic properties and photovoltaic performance as acceptor components for all-polymer solar cells are investigated and compared. Copyright
