Novel [60]fulleropyrrolidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated based on device performance. TheN-phenyfulleropyrrolidines showed better photovoltaic performance than theN-alkyl derivatives and showed high PCE up to 7.3% on combination with PTB7.
Polyesters containing donor-acceptor norbornadiene (D-A NBD) residues in the main chain were synthesized by the polyaddition of D-A NBD dicarboxylic acids, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4,6,7,7pentamethyl-2,5-norbornadiene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and 5,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-2,5norbornadiene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, with bis(epoxide)s. The photoisomerization of the NBD residues in the resulting polyesters proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding quadricyclane (QC) groups. The NBD residues in these polyesters showed resistivity to repeated cycles of the interconversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
