Abstract

Abstract: Donor-Acceptor-Donor conjugated systems are synthesized in good yield by double condensation of aromatic aldehydes of triarylamines with 2, 3-diaminomaleonitrile under microwave activation with trifluoroacetic acid as catalyst. The electronic properties of the compounds are investigated and discussed and a first evaluation of their potential as donor material in organic photovoltaic cells is presented.
