Organic solar cells (OSCs) are emerging as a new photovoltaic technology with the great
advantages of low cost, light-weight, flexibility and semi-transparency. They are promising …

In the periodic table of elements, boron (B, atomic number, 5) and nitrogen (N, atomic
number, 7) are neighboring to the carbon (C, atomic number, 6). Thus, the total electronic …

The rapid emergence of organic (opto) electronics as a promising alternative to conventional
(opto) electronics has been achieved through the design and development of novel π …

Coordination between boron Lewis acid and nitrogen Lewis base (B← N) is a classically
chemical issue that has been known for several decades. Recently, this B← N chemistry …

Charge generation and recombination processes at interfaces between electron donating
(donor, D) and accepting molecules (acceptor, A) are mediated by intermolecular charge …

Organic photovoltaics (OPV) have the potential for a low cost energy conversion from solar
to electrical power. However, minimizing voltage losses, inherent to the currently used …

Three furan-fused BODIPYs were synthesized with perfluorinated methyl, ethyl and n-propyl
groups on the meso-carbon. They were obtained with high yields by reacting the furan-fused …

The need for NIR absorbing materials has become a focus of organic photovoltaics. We
synthesize three benzannulated aza-BODIPY dyes with heterocyclic substituents, namely N …

The class of 4, 4′-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a, 8-triaza-s-indacenes (aza-BODIPYs) are
promising near-infrared absorber materials which are successfully used in organic solar …

This is the first report on the highest efficiency NIR absorbing Aza-Bodipy small molecules.
The molecular engineering of newly synthesized NIR absorbing Aza-Bodipy dyes consists of …
