Three-dimensional electron-accepting compounds containing perylene bis(dicarboximide)s as n-type organic photovoltaic materials.

The synthesis of three-dimensional compounds containing perylene bis(dicarboximide) for application as acceptor materials in organic photovoltaics is reported. Physicochemical measurements as well as device evaluations revealed that the characteristic properties of these materials are derived from their three-dimensional structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
