Abstract: Photoactive compounds are disclosed. The disclosed compounds can exhibit molecular structural elements tending to increase the evaporability of the compounds, such as by including geometric core disruption by use of conformationally restricted side groups instead of freely rotatable side groups or use of indandione moieties instead of dicyanomethyleneindanone moieties. The disclosed photoactive compounds include those with an imine-bridging linking moiety, which can shift the optical properties to a more red-shifted absorbance as compared to compounds with an alkene-bridging linking moiety. The disclosed photoactive compounds can be used in organic photovoltaic devices, such as visibly transparent or opaque photovoltaic devices.
