Abstract
The synthesis of heterocyclic spirobifluorene (SBF) analogs generally requires long and complicated synthetic pathways. Despite this synthetic effort, such structural modification allows the (opto)electronic properties of this remarkable three-dimensional node to be tuned especially for molecular electronic applications. For this reason, the development of a simple, robust, and efficient synthetic methodology to introduce various heterocycles in place of classical phenyl rings in the spirofluorene motif is highly and timely desirable. In this context, we describe herein our efforts to develop a straightforward and efficient synthesis leading to replacement of 2 phenyl rings by various heterocycles in spiro compounds from 2,2'-dibromobenzophenone. As the same procedure to form fully heterocyclic compounds failed, an original theoretical approach based mainly on the uncommon Fukui dual function was developed in order to determine clearly the limitation of this strategy and provide an efficient predictive tool. Indeed, such calculation allows prediction of the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the synthesis of spiro derivatives using a double aromatic electrophilic substitution. If this procedure reproduces well our experimental results focused on (heterocyclic) SBF compounds, it can be certainly adapted and generalized to other intramolecular substitutions.

Abstract
Three acceptor-π-donor-π-acceptor (A-π-D-π-A) small molecules (STFYT, STFRDN, and STFRCN) with spiro[cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b']dithiophene-4,9'-fluorene] (STF) as the central donor unit, terthiophene as the π-conjugated bridge, indenedione, 3-ethylrhodanine, or 2-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)rhodanine as the acceptor unit are designed, synthesized, and characterized as electron donor materials in solution-processing organic solar cells (OSCs). The effects of the spiro STF-based central core and different acceptors on the molecular configuration, absorption properties, electronic energy levels, carrier transport properties, the morphology of active layers, and photovoltaic properties are investigated in detail. The three molecules exhibit desirable physicochemical features: wide absorption bands (300-850 nm) and high molar absorption coefficients (4.82 × 104 to 7.56 × 104 M-1 cm-1) and relatively low HOMO levels (-5.15 to -5.38 eV). Density functional theory calculations reveal that the spiro STF central core benefits to reduce the steric hindrance effect between the central donor block and terthiophene bridge and suppress excessive intermolecular aggregations. The optimized OSCs based on these molecules deliver power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 6.68%, 3.30%, and 4.33% for STFYT, STFRDN, and STFRCN, respectively. The higher PCE of STFYT-based OSCs should be ascribed to its better absorption ability, higher and balanced hole and electron mobilities, and superior active layer morphology as compared to the other two compounds. So far, this is the first example of developing the A-π-D-π-A type small molecules with a spiro central donor core for high-performance OSC applications. Meanwhile, these results demonstrate that using spiro central block to construct A-π-D-π-A molecule is an alternative and effective strategy for achieving high-performance small molecule donor materials.
