Two-acceptor one-donor random terpolymers comprising thiophene- and phenyl-capped diketopyrrolopyrrole for organic photovoltaics

A series of random terpolymers comprising two electron deficient phenyl (PDPP) and thiophene (ThDPP)-capped diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) in conjugation with the electron-donating thiophene moiety are synthesised using Stille coupling. Their optical properties, energy levels, hole mobility, crystallinity and solar cell device performance can be systematically fine-tuned by controlling the molar ratio between ThDPP/PDPP (30/70, 50/50, 70/30, and 90/10) contents in the polymer backbone. Herein, we find that the crystalline properties and hole mobility of the terpolymer are enhanced by increasing ThDPP content in the polymer backbone. However, increasing PDPP content leads to low hole mobility and weak crystalline features. These characteristic features afford remarkable effect on the solar cell device performance. Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells are constructed by using these random terpolymers as donor materials and [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) as the acceptor. The best device performances are obtained for polymer P5T5P with the ThDPP/PDPP ratio of 50/50 and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.9% due to balanced charge carrier mobility and optimized crystallinity in addition to good miscibility and favorable surface morphology with the fullerene acceptor. This study demonstrates that improved control of the crystallinity of the polymer donor through structural engineering can greatly help in improving device performance.

A new diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivative bearing boronate group as fluorescent probe for fluoride ion

A new diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) derivative bearing pinacol boronate group has been synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura reaction under mild conditions in good yield. The product could act as a colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe for fluoride ion with high sensitivity and selectivity. The recognition mechanism was attributed to unique fluoride-boron interaction, which blocked the charge transfer (CT) between DPP chromophore and the empty p orbitals of boron atoms, and proved by the fluorescence spectra, 19F NMR spectra and 1H NMR spectra titration experiments.
