Ultra-narrowband NIR photomultiplication organic photodetectors (PM-OPDs) were realized in ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layers/Al based on the interfacial-traps induced charge injection narrowing (CIN) concept. The rather less Bod Ethex-Hex (BEH) is imbedded in polymer donor matrix to form some isolated electron traps. The trapped electrons in BEH closing Al electrode will force interfacial band-bending for hole-tunneling-injection, resulting in the photomultiplication. The PM-OPDs with P3HT:BEH as active layers exhibit narrow response peak at 850 nm with full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 27 nm, as well as a rather weak response from 650 m to 800 nm. The rejection ratios (RRs) are 11 at EQE 855 nm /EQE 700 nm and 10 at EQE 855 nm /EQE 750 nm , respectively. The EQE of 29,700% at 850 nm was achieved in the PM-OPDs by incorporating 0.02 wt% F 6 TCNNQ under -13 V bias. An EQE of 15,300% at 850 nm was achieved in the ternary PM-OPDs at -13 V bias, with the markedly enhanced RRs of 44 at EQE 855 nm /EQE 700 nm and 30 at EQE 855 nm /EQE 750 nm . This work provides a smart strategy to achieve highly efficient ultra-narrowband NIR PM-OPDs by adjusting trapped-electron-distribution near hole injection electrode and molecular arrangement for enhancing hole mobility in active layers.

Here, we report the synthesis and properties of heterosubtituted αβ‐fused BODIPY fluorophores. The compounds were obtained in good yields by sequential and selective Stille cross‐coupling reactions from 2,3,5,6‐tetrahalo‐BODIPY, allowing the introduction of different substituents at the 3,5 and 2,6 positions of the BODIPY ring. The final fused compounds were synthesized using oxidative cyclisation with ferrous chloride. The fully fused compounds show a strong bathochromically shifted emission along with a hyperchromic shift of the absorption maxima. The fluorescence quantum yields remain relatively large for compounds emitting in this wavelength range. Computational studies have been carried out to fully understand the photophysical behaviour of these dyes.
