First theoretical framework of Z-shaped acceptor materials with fused-chrysene core for high performance organic solar cells

Chrysene core containing fused ring acceptor materials have remarkable efficiency for high performance organic solar cells. Therefore, present study has been carried out with the aim to design chrysene based novel Z-shaped electron acceptor molecules (Z1-Z6) from famous Z-shaped photovoltaic material FCIC (R) for organic photovoltaic applications. End-capped engineering at two electron-accepting end groups 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone of FCIC...
