Organic solar cells (OSCs) have long promised to provide renewable energy in a scalable, cost-effective way; however, for years, their relatively low efficiency has been a significant barrier to commercialization. Recent progress on cell efficiency means that OSCs are now much more competitive with other established technologies. These key advancements have come from better understanding and controlling the molecular structure, solid-state packing, and film morphology of the light absorbing layer. This focused review will explore the different ways that the solid-state structure and film morphology of the light absorbing layer can be controlled. It will examine the key features of an efficient light absorbing layer and present guiding principles for creating efficient OSCs. The future directions and remaining research questions of this field will be briefly discussed.

The paper describes the solid state structure of a compound of composition [Cu(bipy)3][Cu(bipy)(ala) (ClO4)2]ClO4, in which both the cation and anion are octahedral complex species with copper(II) as coordination center. The cation contains three chelate rings formed by bipy; the anion contains in the quatorial plane a CuONC2 chelate ring formed by the alaninato ligand and a CuN2C2 chelate ring formed by bipy, with two monodentate perchorato ligands in axial positions completing the six-coordination. In the crystal p-p stackings lead to a supramolecular self-assembled structure.

Abstract The reaction of potassium with hexamethyldi-stannane in a refluxing solvent mixture of toluene and tetrahydrofuran (ratio 10:1) yields the red tetrahydrofuran adduct of benzyl potassium (thf)[KCH2C6H5]2 due to the metalation of toluene by the potassium trimethylstannanide intermediate. The solid state structure of (thf)[KCH2C6H5]2 contains dimers with only one potassium coordinated to a tetrahydrofuran molecule. These dimers form a polymer through benzyl bridging with shortest K-C distances at 292 pm.
