Synthesis and photovoltaic performances in solution-processed BHJs of oligothiophene-substituted organocobalt complexes [(η4-C4(nT)4)Co(η5-C5H5)]

Abstract

We describe an efficient synthetic route toward novel organocobalt complexes [(η4-C4(nT)4)Co(η5-C5H5)] with n = 1, 2, 3 thiophene rings. Solution-processed bulk heterojunctions solar cells based on CpCoCb(3T)4:PCBM blends achieve power conversion efficiencies of up to 2.1%.
