2ClIC (CAS number 2197167-50-1), namely 2-(5,6-dichloro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile, is used as a building block to prepare non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) such as ITIC-DCl, IEICO-4Cl, IXIC-4Cl and BTP-4Cl for highly efficient non-fullerene organic solar cells (NFOSCs).
Comparing with 2FIC, chlorination is believed to have a more pronounced role in enhancing intermolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect than fluorination does. However, chlorinated NFAs in general have reduced lowest unoccupied molecular orbit (LUMO) levels, leading to reduced open-circuit voltages (VOC) that could cost in general the overall PCE of the resulting OPV cells.
