Synthesis and photovoltaic properties of new thieno[3,2-b]indole-based dyes

Russian Chemical Bulletin - New dyes of the 3-[5-(4-alkyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]indol-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-2-cyanoacrylic acid series were prepared based on 2-(thien-2-yl)-substituted thieno[3,2-b]indole...     

New push-pull systems based on indolo[3,2-b]carbazole and 1,2,4,5-tetrazine: synthesis,photophysical, and charge transport properties

5,11-Dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazoles were for the first time modified with acceptor 1,2,4,5-tetrazine fragments. The photophysical and charge-transport properties of the synthesized donor-acceptor heterocyclic systems were studied. It was shown that the introduction of the 1,2,4,5-tetrazine moieties makes it possible to increase the hole and electron mobility by one and two orders of magnitude, respectively, as compared to analogous 5,11-dihydroindolo-[3,2-b]carbazole derivatives studied previously.

     

New π-conjugated thieno[3,2-b]indole derivatives and charge carrier mobility in their thin films

New push-pull chromophores based on thieno[3,2-b]indole were synthesized. The energy levels of the outer molecular orbitals and the mobility of electrons and holes in thin films prepared from solutions of these compounds were determined experimentally.
