研究目的
Investigating the synthesis, electrochemical and optical characterizations of four new 4H-pyranylidene-based push-pull molecules and their evaluation as donor materials for organic photovoltaics.
研究成果
The study presents the synthesis and characterization of four new 4H-pyranylidene-based push-pull molecules with potential applications in organic photovoltaics. Despite good absorption properties and appropriate LUMO levels, the photovoltaic performance was low, attributed to the twisted molecular structure limiting π-π interactions. The best performance was observed with compound 2a, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 0.33%.
研究不足
The twisted structure of the molecules may prevent the formation of suitable π-π contacts between adjacent molecules, leading to low photovoltaic performance. Limited hole transport properties due to weak π-π intermolecular interactions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of four new 4H-pyranylidene-based push-pull molecules was carried out via Kn?venagel condensation. The electronic properties were analyzed through UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and theoretical calculations.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Single crystals of compound 1a were obtained for X-ray diffraction analysis. Thin-films on glass or indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates were prepared for UV–vis spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy in air (PESA).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Basic alumina, anhydrous toluene, absolute ethanol, malononitrile, 4-phenyl-2-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbonitrile, and chloroform were used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved refluxing under argon with exclusion of light, followed by purification via flash chromatography. Thin-films were prepared by spin-casting solutions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
UV–vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction, and theoretical calculations using DFT and the CPCM solvation method were employed for analysis.
