A general approach to non-fullerene electron acceptors based on the corannulene motif

Here, we show that oxidation of exo-cyclic sulfur atoms enhances the molecular reduction potential of non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and allows for a systematic bridging of the electron affinity gap between corannulene, a fragment of fullerene C₆₀, and the prevalent fullerene-based elec...

Description
Summary:Here, we show that oxidation of exo-cyclic sulfur atoms enhances the molecular reduction potential of non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and allows for a systematic bridging of the electron affinity gap between corannulene, a fragment of fullerene C₆₀, and the prevalent fullerene-based electron acceptor phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM).
