Triarylboranes that exhibit p-p*c onjugations erve as versatile building blocks to designn -type organic/polymer semiconductors. As eries of new molecular acceptors based on triarylborane is reported here. These molecules are designed with ab oron atom that bears ab ulky 2,4,6-tri-tertbutylphenyl (Mes*)s ubstituenta tt he core ands trong electron-withdrawing2 -(3-oxo-2,3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (IC) units as the end-capping groups that are linked to the core by bithiophene bridges. Butyl or butoxy groups are introduced to the bithiophene units to tune the optoelectronic properties. These molecules show nearly planar backbones with highlyl ocalized steric hindrance at the core, low LUMO/HOMO energy levels,a nd broad absorption bandss panning the visible region,w hich are all very desirable characteristics for use as electron acceptors in organic solar cell (OSC) applications.T he attachment of butyl groups to the bithiophene bridgesb rings aboutaslightly twisted backbone, which in turn promotes good solubility and homogeneous donor/acceptor blend morphology,w hereas the introduction of butoxy groupsl eads to improved planarity, favorable stacking in the film state,a nd ag reatlyr educed band gap. OSC devices basedonthesemolecules exhibit encouraging photovoltaic performances with powerc onversion efficiencies reaching up to 4.07 %. These resultsf urther substantiate the strong potential of triarylboranes as the core unit of small molecule acceptors for OSC applications.Supporting information and the ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under: https://doi.
