The first solvent-free crystal structure of PCBM, an organic semiconductor widely used in solvent-free nanocrystalline films in plastic solar cells, is reported and its relevance to structure–property relationships discussed. The PCBM structure, obtained from o-dichlorobenzene solvates by solvent abstraction, was solved using powder diffraction, demonstrating this possibility for functionalized fullerenes.

Abstract

The first solvent-free crystal structure of PCBM, an organic semiconductor widely used in solvent-free nanocrystalline films in plastic solar cells, is reported and its relevance to structure–property relationships discussed. The PCBM structure, obtained from o-dichlorobenzene solvates by solvent abstraction, was solved using powder diffraction, demonstrating this possibility for functionalized fullerenes.
