Popis: Three new azomethines based on triphenylamine with two or three substituents were obtained. Chemical structure and purity were confirmed by 1H NMR, FTIR elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy. The investigations were focused on the relationship between chemical structure and properties important for optoelectronic materials. Thus, the studies of thermal, optical and electrochemical properties were carried out based on differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, electronic absorption, photoluminescence and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The ongoing consideration of experimental results was complemented by theoretical calculations using the density functional theory method. The donor activity of obtained compounds was tested in bulk-heterojuntion photovoltaic cells with structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/imine:PCBM/Al and ITO/PEDOT:PSS/imine:P3HT:PCBM/Al). The effect of the presence of the amino-thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester groups and various number of hexyloxyphenyl units on imines properties was demonstrated.
