Abstract
The methoxymethyl chain imparts BDTT with excellent optical properties, strong intermolecular interactions and tight π–π stacking, making it a potential component for the design of electron-donating organic semiconductors.

Abstract
Compared to the complexes using N and O as coordination atoms, whose PCE has never exceeded 10%, the sensitizers using the softer S as a coordination atom have made a breakthrough in their performance, with a PCE of 10.96%.

Abstract
This structural characterisation shows how non-fullerene acceptor packing largely track from single crystals to solar cells. The crystal packing impacts electron mobility, while the domain purity drives the bimolecular recombination and performance.
