The unsymmetrical and symmetrical azines prepared by condensation of benzophenone hydrazone with (di)aldehydes with thiophene rings were reported in this study The structures of obtained compounds were characterized by FTIR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. Optical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of azines were investigated. The unsymmetrical azine with bithiophene unit exhibited liquid crystalline properties as was detected by DSC and POM experiments. All compounds are electrochemically active, however, only azines with bithiophene structure undergo reversible reduction process as was found in cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (CV and DPV) studies. Additionally, the electronic properties, that is, orbital energies and resulting energy gap were calculated theoretically by density functional theory (DFT). The photovoltaic properties of two azines as active layer in organic solar cells at the configuration ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/Al under an illumination of 1.3 mW/cm(2) were studied. Active cell layers blends of poly 3-hekxylthiophene (P3HT) or poly 3-butylthiophene (P3OT) with azines were applied. The device comprising P3HT with symmetrical azine containing bithiophene unit showed the highest value of power conversion efficiency (0.82%). To the best of our knowledge, the azines are very seldom considered as potential compounds in active layer in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
