Abstract

Organic bulk heterojunction (OBHJ) photovoltaics, incorporating open-cage fullerenes with orifice-size of 8, 12, 13, 16 and 20-membered-rings as n-type materials, display power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 2.9% by the 8-membered-ring fullerene under AM 1.5G irradiation; their PCEs decrease as the orifice-size of open-cage fullerene increases, primarily due to electron-mobility descends as the cage is ruptured to larger holes.

47. Compound8aand8beach encapsulates a water molecule inside the cage in 79% and 54% ratio by1H NMR analyses in which encapsulated H2O appear at –11.28 and –11.34 ppm respectively.
48. Compound5a b 6a b 7a band8a bare isolated as isomeric mixtures since they are difficult to be separated by flash column chromatography in low polarity solvents (toluene/hexanes = 1:1). Later we find that their solubilities are even lower upon separated from their isomeric mixtures with Buckyprep column by HPLC; mixtures of separated isomers/P3HT do not form better films as isomeric mixtures in devices.
