Two new cyanopyridinone-capped 9,9′-bifluorenylidene derivatives, 5,5′,5′′,5′′′-(([9,9′-bifluorenylidene]-3,3′,6,6′-tetrayltetrakis(4-hexylthiophene-5,2-diyl))tetrakis(methanylylidene)) tetrakis(1-butyl-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile) (A1) and 5,5′,5′′,5′′′-(([9,9′-bifluorenylidene]-2,2′,7,7′-tetrayltetrakis(4-octylthiophene-5,2-diyl))tetrakis (methanylylidene))tetrakis(1-(2-ethylhexyl)-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile) (A2), were synthesized as the non-fullerene small molecular acceptors for organic solar cells. The compounds exhibited excellent solubility in...
