Abstract

) of 1.59 eV in comparison to the PC70BM LUMO acceptor. All of these characteristics are present. The results show that the molecules under investigation are good candidates for organic solar cell (OSC) applications as donor materials and hole-transport materials, and they perform very well in photovoltaic studies.
