Abstract:
Using the GUSAR 2013 program, we have performed a quantitative analysis of the "structure-power conversion efficiency (PCE)" on the series of 100 methano[60]fullerenes previously tested as acceptor components of bulk-heterojunction polymer organic solar cells (PSCs) utilizing the same donor polymer, viz. poly(3-hexylthiophene). Based on the MNA and QNA descriptors and self-consistent regression implemented in the program, six statistically significant consensus models for predicting the PCE values of the methano[60]fullerene-based PSCs have been constructed. The structural fragments of the fullerene compounds leading to an increase in the device performances are determined. Based on these structural descriptors, we have designed the three methano[60]fullerenes included in the training sets and characterized by poor optoelectrical properties is performed. As a result, two new compounds with potentially moderate efficiency have been proposed. This result opens opportunities of using the GUSAR 2013 program for modeling of the "structure-PCE" relationship for diverse compounds (not only fullerene derivatives).

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
