The structures and the absorption and photovoltaic spectra of thin films of tetracene (TC) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), as well as the films of their heterostructures (TC/TCNQ) and composites (TC + TCNQ), have been studied. The heterostructures and composites are obtained by the thermal sputtering of the components – successively or simultaneously, respectively – in vacuum. The photovoltaic spectra were measured, by using the condenser method. It is found for the first time that the largest changes ΔD1 in the TC/TCNQ and TC + TCNQ absorption spectra with respect to the sum of the absorption spectra of the components are observed in the intervals of TCNQ dimeric bands at 2.214 eV (ΔD1 < 0) and in all TC bands (ΔD1 > 0). Those changes testify to the formation of charge transfer complexes between the TC (the electron donor) and TCNQ (the electron acceptor) molecules at the interfaces in the TC/TCNQ heterostructures and in the bulk of TC + TCNQ composites, which is also confirmed by the appearance of TC+- and TCNQ−-bands in the photovoltaic spectra of both the heterostructure and composite films. This result is important for a deeper understanding of the operating mechanisms in various potentially imaginable devices based on those heterostructures and composites (solar cells, field-effect transistors, and light-emitting diodes).

Donor–acceptor–donor (DAD) triad systems are commonly applied as active materials in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors, organic solar cells, and NIR-emitting organic light-emitting diodes. Often, these triads utilize oligothiophenes as donors, whereas their oxygen-containing analogs, oligofurans, are far less studied in this setup. Here we introduce a family of DAD triads in which the donors are oligofurans and the acceptor is benzothiadiazole. In a combined computational and experimental study, we show that these triads display optical bandgaps similar to those of their thiophene analogs, and that a bifuran donor is sufficient to produce emission in the NIR spectral region. The presence of a central acceptor unit increases the photostability of oligofuran-based DAD systems compared with parent oligofurans of the similar length.
