The electrophilic borylation of 2,5-diarylpyrazines results in the formation of boron-nitrogen doped dihydroindeno[1,2-<i>b</i>]fluorene which can be synthesized via mildly air-sensitive techniques and the end products handled readily under atmosphereic conditions. Through transmetallation via diarylzinc reagents a series of derivatives were sythesized which show broad absorption profiles that highlight the versatility of this backbone to be used in organic solar cell devices. These compounds can be synthesized in large yields, in alow number of steps and functionalized at many stages along the way providing a large depth of possibilities. Exploratory device paramaters were studied and show PCE of 2%.

AbstractWe report on the first use of optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) for Edge Defined Film-Fed Growth (EFG) silicon characterization. This OLCR sensor system has been used to measure horizontal profiles of silicon thickness and flatness to an accuracy of 1.5 Rim with the sensor head positioned 1 cm away from the silicon. The use of this noninvasive sensor for EFG silicon growth monitoring may lead to more efficient solar cell manufacturing processes.
