چکیده

The research on donor–acceptor (D–A) cocrystalline structures based on organic semiconductive molecules has drawn great attention due to their unique optical and electronic properties. Among the building block molecules, derivatives of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-3,4,9,10-diimides (PTCDI) are of particular interest as these molecules form high performance n-type semiconductors with strong air stability. However, the cocrystal of PTCDIs remains challenging to fabricate, and only few D–A cocrystals of PTCDIs have been reported. Herein, we report a successful molecular self-assembly design for the PTCDI cocrystal with a donor molecule, coronene. Within the triclinic cell of the cocrystal, the PTCDI and coronene molecules achieved 1 : 1 alternated p–p stacking. The cocrystal showed clear red-shifted absorption and photoluminescence bands, implying the strong charge transfer interaction between coronene and PTCDI. Additionally, the cofacial p–p stacking between coronene and PTCDI planes favors strong one-dimensional self-assembly, leading to the formation of microsized fibril cocrystals and arrays. This presented cocrystal design strategy helps to explore new D–A cocrystalline structures, particularly with one-dimensional morphology control.

Electronic energy and electron transfer processes in photoexcited donor-acceptor dyad and triad molecular systems based on triphenylene and perylene diimide units.

We investigate the photophysical properties of organic donor-acceptor dyad and triad molecular systems based on triphenylene and perylene diimide units linked by a non-conjugated flexible bridge in solution using complementary optical spectroscopy techniques. When these molecules are diluted in dichloromethane solution, energy transfer from the triphenylene to the perylene diimide excited moiet...

Hole-transfer induced energy transfer in perylene diimide dyads with a donor-spacer-acceptor motif.

We investigate the photoinduced dynamics of perylene diimide dyads based on a donor-spacer-acceptor motif with polyyne spacers of varying length by pump-probe spectroscopy, time resolved fluorescence, chemical variation and quantum chemistry. While the dyads with pyridine based polyyne spacers undergo energy transfer with near-unity quantum efficiency, in the dyads with phenyl based polyyne spa...

Efficient organic solar cells with helical perylene diimide electron acceptors.

We report an efficiency of 6.1% for a solution-processed non-fullerene solar cell using a helical perylene diimide (PDI) dimer as the electron acceptor. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy revealed both electron and hole transfer processes at the donor-acceptor interfaces, indicating that charge carriers are created from photogenerated excitons in both the electron donor and acceptor ...

Identification of Different Donor-Acceptor Structures via Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) in Quantum-Dot-Perylene Bisimide Assemblies

Nanoassemblies are formed via self-assembly of ZnS capped CdSe quantum dots (QD) and perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes. Upon assembly formation the QD photoluminescence is quenched, as can be detected both via single particle detection and ensemble experiments in solution. Quenching has been assigned to FRET and NON-FRET processes. Analysis of FRET allows for a distinction between different geometri...

Charge dissociation at interfaces between discotic liquid crystals: the surprising role of column mismatch.

The semiconducting and self-assembling properties of columnar discotic liquid crystals have stimulated intense research toward their application in organic solar cells, although with a rather disappointing outcome to date in terms of efficiencies. These failures call for a rational strategy to choose those molecular design features (e.g., lattice parameter, length and nature of peripheral chain...
