Green-solvent-processed all-polymer solar cells (AP-SCs) are regarded as an excellent candidate for renewable energy due to their better stability and eco-friendly features. Two polymers, PYF-U and PYF-BO, have been designed by introducing a Y-series derivative with difluoro-substituted dicyanindenone units and a difluorobenzotriazole derivative as the first and second electron-deficient (A) units, respectively. The introduction of two additional F atoms on dicyanindenone units leads to a more coplanar backbone because of noncovalent interactions. Compared with the polymer PYF-U with undecyl chains on thiophene, the polymer PYF-BO with 2-butyloctyl chains exhibits stronger intermolecular aggregation during the film-forming process, more dominant face-on molecular packing, and higher crystallinity in films. Therefore, the PM6:PYF-BO AP-SC achieves an efficiency of 15.38%, outperforming that of the PM6:PYF-U device (14.27%). Moreover, the former exhibits a longer T lifetime (1789 h) than the latter (826 h) under thermal aging at 65 °C because of better molecular packing and morphology. Our research demonstrates that combining noncovalent interactions to enhance the coplanarity of the polymeric backbone with side-chain engineering to optimize molecular packing and blend-film morphology is one of the efficient strategies for developing high-performance polymer acceptors.

Three multicomponent systems, namely, 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-nicotinic acid (DAPT-NA), CHN·CHNO, (I), 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hydrogen malonate (DAPT-MMA), CHN·CHO, (II), and 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hydrogen (+)-dibenzoyl-D-tartarate (DAPT-DBTA), CHN·CHO, (III), have been synthesized and characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and their supramolecular interactions have been analysed. The formation of cocrystal (I) and salts (II) and (III) was confirmed through the widening of the C-N-C bond angle of the triazine moiety of 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine and the difference in the C-O bond distances between the carboxyl and carboxylate groups of the respective carboxylic acids. Cocrystal (I) and salt (II) form robust homomeric and heteromeric R(8) ring motifs through primary acid-base interactions and complementary base pairing.

Accurate prediction of polymer properties using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations requires a properly relaxed starting structure. Polymer models built from scratch by specialized algorithms (self-avoiding random walk, Monte Carlo, etc.) are far from relaxed and, moreover, often possess a large number of structural defects: close contacts between atoms, wrong bond distances, voids, unfavorable molecular conformations or packing, etc.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, CHFNSe·Cl, contains one planar 4-fluoro-benzo[][1,2,5]selena-diazol-1-ium mol-ecular cation and a chloride anion. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the 4-fluoro-benzo[][1,2,5]selena-diazol-1-ium mol-ecules, which are arranged in parallel layers along (104), to the chloride anions. The cationic layers, in turn, are stacked along [001].
