N1 - This study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (grant no. 22-23-00318). NMR, MALDI, UV-absorption and cyclic voltammetry studies and elemental analyses were performed with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation employing the equipment of Center for molecular composition studies of INEOS RAS.

N2 - New small molecule photovoltaic materials containing benzimidazole fragment were prepared by cross-coupling of the corresponding 1-bromo-4-(imidazol-2-yl)benzenes with multiborylated/stannylated polycyclic (het)arenes. Energies of HOMO/LUMO levels were calculated from cyclic voltammetry and UV/VIS spectroscopy data and are within the ranges –5.27... –5.73 and –2.33...–2.89 eV, respectively. Solar cells based on three different perovskites as light absorbing layers and compound SM7 as electron transporting material demonstrated power conversion efficiency values up to 10.78% without doping additives or perovskite engineering.
