“…On the other hand, the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction was applied for the preparation of PPY2 in presence of a palladium catalyst, a copper (I) cocatalyst, and an amine base as described in Scheme 6. PDTIDTBT 44,95 as a HTM for PSC was synthesized from Stille cross-coupling polycondensation from two monomers namely 2,7-dibromo-(5,5-bis(3´,5´dimethyloctyl)-5H-1,8-dithia-as-indacenone) (M1) and 5,5-bi(tributylstannyl)-(5´,6´dioctyloxy-4´,7´-di-2-thienyl-2´,1´,3´-benzothiadiazole (M2) as outline in Scheme 8.…”
