A one-pot synthesis of 2,6-dibromodithieno[3,2-b;2鈥?3鈥?i>-d]thiophene (dibromo-DTT, 4) was developed. A key step was bromodecarboxylation of DTT-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, obtained by saponification of the diester 1. The donor鈥揳cceptor dye DAHTDTT (13), based on a central 2,6-bis[2鈥?(3鈥?hexylthienyl)]dithieno[3,2-b;2鈥?3鈥?i>-d]thiophene core (9), was prepared and incorporated in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), which exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of 7.3% with Voc of 697 mV, Jsc of 14.4 mA/cmp>2p>, and ff of 0.73 at 1 sun.
