Title: Rational tuning of high-energy visible light absorption for panchromatic small molecules by a two-dimensional conjugation approach

We have demonstrated a rational two-dimensional (2D) conjugation approach towards achieving panchromatic absorption of small molecules. Furthermore, by extending the conjugation on two orthogonal axes of an electron acceptor, namely, bay-annulated indigo (BAI), the optical absorptions could be tuned independently in both high- and low-energy regions. The unconventional modulation of the high-energy absorption is rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, we determine that a 2D tuning strategy provides novel guidelines for the design of molecular materials with tailored optoelectronic properties.
