An X‑Shaped Chiral Non‑Fullerene n‐Type Semiconductor: Application in Perovskite Solar Cells and Chirality‑Induced Spin Selectivity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly electron‑accepting derivative of cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyl (CBBC‐TIC) is reported. CBBC‐TIC functions as an electron‐transport layer for perovskite solar cells, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 20.6%. Furthermore, the enantiomers of CBBC‐TIC exhibited spin‐selective electron transport with high enantiospecific magnetic conductance ...
