In this communication, we summarize different approaches developed in our research group to tune effectively the electrochemical, optical and morphological characteristics of rylenimide-based organic semiconductors for their use in (opto)electronic devices including organic solar cells (OSCs) [1].

Different variables were finely tuned in these organic assemblies, such as the length of the π-conjugated backbones [2,3], the energy levels and topologies  of the frontier molecular orbitals and their shape and dimensionality. By using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in thin films we correlate these tunable properties with the microstructure observed. The versatility of 1,2-diketone functionality allows us the design not only n-type organic semiconductors but also ambipolar materials by combining electron-withdrawing structures with electron-donor moieties. We will highlight our most recent studies on the use of different end-capped substituents [4] and the effect of structural dimensionality [5] in the performance in OSC of some ambipolar and n-type semiconductor materials based on π-conjugated rylenimides.
