PCBC6 (1g)

Description

PCBC6 is a fullerene derivative structurally related to C60PCBM, featuring a C60 fullerene cage functionalized with a phenyl-butyric acid chain terminated with a hexyl ester group instead of the standard methyl ester. This alkyl chain modification provides enhanced solubility and distinct processing characteristics compared to conventional C60PCBM.

Ideal for researchers seeking enhanced solubility and processing flexibility in organic photovoltaic devices while maintaining the reliable electron-accepting properties of PCBM-based acceptors.
