Structure - property relationship of thiophene based materials bearing different accepting groups — •Marion Wrackmeyer, Markus Hummert, Horst Hartmann, Karl Leo, and Moritz Riede — Institut für Angewandte Photophysik, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany

Organic solar cells require new materials for improved efficiencies. The relationship of molecular structure and properties is very important to optimise the devices. An interesting class of materials are thiophene block co-oligomers. The materials obtain electron donating (D) and accepting (A) groups and have the general structure A-D-A or D-A-D. In particular, the investigation of electron accepting groups is very important, because they have a high influence on the electronic structure of an organic molecule and are therefore an influential impact in the performance of a small molecule p-i-n solar cell. We present investigations on thiophene based materials bearing different accepting groups. The accepting groups are eg dicyanovinyl, dioxaborine, and benzthiadiazole. The materials were synthesised by Stille-coupling. Basic precondition for all materials is the thermal stability for deposition by vacuum-techniques. Subsequent investigations focus on absorption (solution and thin films), electrochemical behaviour (cyclic voltammetry to investigate the frontier molecular orbital energy levels), DFT-calculations (to show the location of HOMO and LUMO), mobility, morphology, dopability, and the properties of a solar cell.
