The rapid synthesis of structurally complicated electron donors & acceptors still remains a major challenge in organic solar cells(OSC).In this work,we developed a highly efficient strategy to access long-chain oligomeric donor and acceptors for OSC applica-tions.A series of cyclopentadithiophene(CPDT)and benzothiadiazole(BT)-based π-conjugated oligomers,i.e.,three oligomeric ac-ceptors(BTDT)n-IC(n=1-3)and one long-chain oligomeric donor(BTDT)4-RD,are facilely synthesized by an atom-and step-eco-nomical,and labor-saving direct C—H arylation(DACH)reaction(i.e.,C—H/C—Br cross coupling).Note that(BTDT)4-RD involving five CPDT,four BT and two rhodamine(RD)building blocks is the longest oligomeric donor in the fullerene-free OSC devices ever report-ed.The dependence of the structure-property-performance correlation of(BTDT)n-IC(n=1-3)and(BTDT)4-RD on the π-conjugation lengths is thoroughly investigated by opto-electrochemical measurements,bulk heterojunction(BHJ)OSC devices and microscopies.The(BTDT)1-IC∶PBDB-T and(BTDT)4-RD∶Y6 BHJs achieve power conversion efficiencies of 9.14%and 4.51%,respectively.Our findings demonstrate that DACH reaction is a powerful tool to tune the opto-electronic properties and device performances by regulating the lengths of π-conjugated oligomers with varied numbers of repeating units.
