The synergy of continuous processing and microwave heating technologies has unlocked scalable (g/h), safe and efficient reaction conditions for synthesis of fullerene/indene-based organic photovoltaic acceptor materials in a nonchlorinated solvent with levels of productivity unparalleled by previous syntheses. The microwave flow reactor sustains high temperature while employing short residence times, reaction conditions which uniquely allow the selective synthesis of fullerene/indene monoadducts. Design of experiments analysis revealed residence time as the most crucial factor for conversion and selectivity control.
