An organic semiconductor device is formed by the self-assembly on a transparent electrode surface. The donor (see picture; dibenzotetrathienocoronene, yellow layer) deposits as supramolecular cables, and the acceptor (C60, orange) subsequently infiltrates this network. This network provides a donor-acceptor interface that is interwoven at the nanoscale. When incorporated into a solar cell, the active layer provides large increases in power conversion efficiencies.

Aggregation-induced emission combined with aggregation-promoted photo-oxidation has been reported only in two works quite recently. In fact, this phenomenon is not commonly observed for AIE-active molecules. In this work, a new tetraphenylethylene derivative (TPE-4T) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-promoted photo-oxidation was synthesized and investigated. The pristine TPE-4T film exhibits strong bluish-green emission, which turns to quite weak yellow emission after UV irradiation. Interestingly, after solvent treatment, the weakly fluorescent intermediate will become bright-yellow emitting. Moreover, the morphology of the TPE-4T film could be regulated by UV irradiation. The wettability of the TPE-4T microcrystalline surface is drastically changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. This work contributes a new member to the aggregation induced photo-oxidation family and enriches the photo-oxidation study of tetraphenylethylene derivatives.

A synthetic strategy to prepare 2,7- or 4,9-functionalized cyclopenta[hi]aceanthrylenes that are capable of Suzuki cross-coupling reactions is demonstrated. This method has been utilized to create a series of thiophene derivatized compounds that were subsequently used to investigate the role of substitution pattern on the photophysical and electronic properties of cyclopenta[hi]aceanthrylenes. The orthogonal functionalization provides access to unique substitution patterns (e.g., cruciform-like architectures) and materials with small optical band gaps (1.22-1.97 eV).
