A new linear dithienosilole-based oligothiophene end-capped with methyl and electronwithdrawing dicyanovinyl groups, DTS(Oct)(2)-(2T-DCV-Me)(2), was prepared in good yield. This oligomer exhibited broad absorption spectra in bulk down to the near-IR region with the optical edge at 900 nm, resulting in an initially high power conversion efficiency of 5.44% in solution-processed organic solar cells using PC71BM as an acceptor.
