Porous organic polymers (POPs), owing to their abundant porosity, high stability and well-tunable properties, are promising candidates as heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic transformations. Here we report two vinylene-bridged donor-acceptor (D-A) structural POPs (TpTc-POP and TbTc-POP) that are facilely constructed by the electron-rich triarylamine and electron-deficient tricyanomesitylene as key building blocks by the organic base catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation. Both TpTc-POP and TbTc-POP possess hierarchical meso- and micro-pores with a high surface area. Furthermore, the unsubstituted vinylene linkages of D-A moieties in their polymer backbones extend their π-conjugation and render their broad absorption range in the visible-light region. Thus, these DA-POPs exhibited highly effective photocatalytic activities for aerobic oxidative coupling of amines to imines under visible light irradiation. This study shows the great potential of conjugated POPs with a D-A structural feature in designing highly efficient and active heterogeneous photocatalytic systems.

The vinylene-bridged helical perylene diimide (PDI) dimer (PDI2) with a build-in twisted configuration is an alternative building block to the parent PDI for the construction of efficient non-fullerene acceptor (NFAs). Moreover, it has been proved asymmetric strategy plays a vital role in the development of NFAs. Herein, we designed and synthesized a pair of acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type PDI2 derivatives, namely IDTIC-PDI and IDT-diPDI2, which contain asymmetric and symmetric end-cap units, respectively.

The vinylene-bridged helical PDI dimer (PDI2) has been an alternative PDI building block for non-fullerene acceptor (NFAs). However, the development of PDI2 derivatives still lag behind, and most of PDI2 derivatives based organic solar cells (OSCs) only achieved a moderate power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of less than 8%. In this contribution, an acceptor-donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A'-D-A) architecture was introduced to facilitate the improvement of photovoltaic properties.

A family of fully bridged triphenylamines with embedded 5- and 7-membered rings is presented. The compounds are potent electron donors capable to undergo donor/acceptor interactions with strong cyano-based acceptors both in the solid state and solution. These interactions were evaluated by IR and UV/vis spectroscopy as well as X-ray crystallography.
