Constructing molecular bridge for high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells based on P3HT.

Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is one of the most attractive hole transport materials (HTMs) for the pursuit of stable, low-cost, and high-efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the poor contact and the severe recombination at P3HT/perovskite interface lead to a low power conversion efficiency (PCE). Thus, we construct a molecular bridge, 2-((7-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)-10-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl)-10H-phenoxazin-3-yl)methylene)malononitrile (MDN), whose malononitrile group can anchor the perovskite surface while the triphenylamine group can form π-π stacking with P3HT, to form a charge transport channel.

A practical and efficient approach to imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-fused isoquinolines through the post-GBB transformation strategy.

Diversity-oriented synthesis of the biologically intriguing imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-fused isoquinoline systems from readily available starting materials was achieved through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction followed by a gold-catalyzed cyclization strategy. The synthetic approach is characterized by mild reaction conditions and a broad substrate scope, allowing for the rapid construction of structurally complex and diverse heterocycles in moderate to good yields.
