Abstract

A series of ambipolar covalently linked oligothiophene-fullerene dyads have been synthesized by systematical structural variations. In this respect, the length of linker between donor and acceptor unit was altered and in a second series the terminal acceptor units in the donor unit of the dyads were varied. Characterization of the optical and redox properties gave valuable structure-property relationships and were correlated to the photovoltaic performance in single-material organic solar cells, in which power conversion efficiencies of up to 4.3 % were reached.
