X‐ray investigations on single crystals of a series of terminally dicyanovinyl‐substituted quaterthiophenes and co‐evaporated blend layers with C 60 give insight into molecular packing behavior and morphology, which are crucial parameters in the field of organic electronics. Structural characteristics on various levels and length scales are correlated with the photovoltaic performance of bulk heterojunction small‐molecule organic solar cells.
