A versatile method for the N-arylation of dithienopyrroles was developed and presented. By palladium or copper-catalyzed coupling of a variety of arenes and acenes was directly reacted with dithienopyrrole in good yields. Further functionalization delivered cruciform-type donor-acceptor dyads, which were implemented in single material organic solar cells. The results are described in our latest publication with the title „ Broadly Applicable Synthesis of Arylated Dithieno[3,2-b;2‘,3‘-d]pyrroles as Building Blocks for Organic Electronic Materials” which just was published online in Chemistry-A European Journal 2021, doi/10.1002/chem. 202101478
