Disclosed are an organic small
molecular semiconductor material, and a synthetic method therefor. The
semiconductor material comprises a diaromatic ring pentalene π-conjugate unit and an aromatic group, and has the following
structural formula (I), wherein X1 and X2 are independently selected from O, S or Se; X3 is selected from O, S, Se, NR2, C(R2)2 or Si(R2)2; R2 is selected from a linear or branched
alkyl group comprising 1-20 carbon atoms, and a linear or branched modified alkaryl or heterocyclic
aryl comprising 7-20 carbon atoms; R1 is selected from a
hydrogen atom, a linear or branched
alkyl group comprising 1-20 carbon atoms, and a linear or branched modified alkaryl or heterocyclic
aryl comprising 7-20 carbon atoms; and A is an
electron-withdrawing unit. The
semiconductor material can be synthesised by a
transition metal catalysed
condensation reaction. The
semiconductor material of the present invention has a small
spectrum band gap, a long spectrum absorption
wavelength, a relatively low highest occupied
molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied
molecular orbital energy level, and can be used as a photoelectric material, especially as a
receptor material in an organic photovoltaic device, and it also has advantages such as a simple preparation process, a low cost, etc.
