Abstract

Boron subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) are attractive as light harvesting materials in photovoltaic devices. Here we present the synthesis, optical and electrochemical properties, and device performances of a series of donor−acceptor-functionalized SubPc derivatives incorporating a carboxylic acid for anchoring onto TiO₂. Liquid- and solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were prepared from three compounds, and a triad system consisting of two aniline donor moieties and a benzothiadiazole acceptor moiety was found to exhibit the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) in the series (PCE=1.54 %; solid-state device). The compounds were prepared by stepwise acetylenic coupling reactions. In addition, we present the synthesis and optical properties of a SubPc derivative incorporating three anilino-substituted 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobutadiene units, prepared by the [2+2] cycloaddition between three ethynyl units at the SubPc periphery and three tetracyanoethylene molecules followed by electrocyclic ring-opening reactions.
