The recent emergence of solution-processable organic solar cells has shown tremendous potential as a green, and cost-effective renewable energy source.  While great improvements in performance have been achieved over the past few years, there is still a need for the design and synthesis of new materials for the continued development of the field towards commercial application.  While promising, state-of-the-art organic solar cells have complicated device structures and utilize multi-component active layers comprised of materials with complex syntheses.  Additionally, toxic chemicals and solvents are often required for material synthesis and device fabrication.  The focus of this work is the design and synthesis of simple low-cost materials for use in air processed and tested organic solar cells. <br/>
