Popis: A double-bridged phthalocyanine–fullerene dyad (H 2 Pc–C 60 ee) was used as photo-active intramolecular donor–acceptor system in a layered organic solar cell. In this device, a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PHT) film was used as electron donor, whereas either C 60 or perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) film was selected as electron acceptor. The introduction of the dyad layer leads to an enhancement of the power conversion efficiency ( η ) in all the examples, mainly due to an increase of the open-circuit voltage. By introducing the dyad in PTCDI-containing cells, the efficiency (being 0.32%) was enhanced by almost three times compared to that of the reference (0.12%). In C 60 -containing cells, the efficiency of the dyad sample (being 0.30%) was over one and half times higher than that of the reference in the absence of the dyad (0.18%). The role of such a dyad in the solar cells is discussed in detail.
