Abstract

A facile synthesis was employed to make a 56π-electron methano-PC₆₁BM with a very small 1,2-dihydromethano (CH₂) group. This new fullerene derivative possesses high electron mobility (0.014 cm² V^-1 s^-1) and higher LUMO energy level (0.15 eV) than PC₆₁BM. Bulk hetero-junction devices based on using poly(3-hexylthiophene) and methano-PC₆₁BM as active layer exhibited better performance and thermal stability than those using the PC₆₁BM analogue. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
