Di(p-methoxyphenyl)amine end-capped tri(p-thiophenylphenyl)amine based molecular glasses as hole transporting materials for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells
Novel low-molecular-weight amorphous organic glasses based on triphenylaminecoreend-capped by either di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino or 3,6-dimethoxycarbazol-N-yl groups have been synthesized and characterized. The molecules exhibit high glass-transition temperatures (74–151 °C), excellent thermal stability, and are soluble in common organic solvents. Moreover, most of them absorb mainly in UV domain. These
