The present disclosure relates not only to various compounds set out in the disclosure, but additionally to the use of such compounds, 10 such as in a photoactive organic electronic component. The present disclosure also relates to a photoactive organic electronic component comprising various exemplary compounds according to the disclosure. The disclosure additionally relates to a compound - as intermediate - 15 for the preparation of various exemplary compounds of the disclosure. The disclosure further relates to a process for preparing various compounds of the disclosure. Accordingly, select embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a 20 compound of the general formula (I): [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Y, Y', Z and Z' here are each independently selected from: N or CRa. "Independently selected" in this context also means that Ra can be different in each case for Y, Y', Z and Z'. However, it is also 25 possible, for example, that Ra is the same for two, more than two or all of Y, Y', Z and <semantics>Z′<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Z'< / annotation>< / semantics>. In the compound of the invention, X is selected from: O, S, Se, <semantics>Si(RbRc)<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Si(R^bR^c)< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>P(Rb)<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">P(R^b)< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>P(O)Rb<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">P(O)R^b< / annotation>< / semantics>. The Ra to Rc radicals are each independently selected from the group 30 of the following radicals: - H, _ halogen, _ CN, - NRdRe where Rd and Re are each independently selected from the group of the radicals: H and cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where individual carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms and where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl radical may be substituted, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where individual carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1−C20−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1−C20−S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}-S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20−S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}-S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkynyl, 15 - aryl, - heteroaryl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl, S-alkyl, alkenyl, O- alkenyl, S-alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl and heteroaryl radicals may each independently be substituted. 20 Substitution is understood here and hereinafter to mean the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by other radicals. For example, hydrogen atoms may be replaced by halogen atoms, for instance fluorine atoms. For example, hydrogen atoms may alternatively be substituted by cyclic or open-chain alkyl radicals, 25 for instance <semantics>C1−C10−<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{10}-< / annotation>< / semantics>, preferably <semantics>C1−C6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_6< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals, especially methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and the like, each of which may be linear or branched, and where the alkyl radicals may be at least partly halogenated, for example fluorinated, preferably perfluorinated. 30 Halogen in connection with the compound of the invention is understood here and hereinafter to mean in each case F, Cl, Br and I, preferably in each case F. -CN is a nitrile group. NRdRe is an amine function, which may be a primary, secondary or tertiary amine. Rd and Re include linear and branched radicals alike. <semantics>Rd<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^d< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Re<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^e< / annotation>< / semantics> may also be <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals in which hydrogen atoms are substituted. For example, hydrogen atoms may be replaced by fluorine atoms. <semantics>Rd<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^d< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Re<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^e< / annotation>< / semantics> may additionally also be <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals where individual carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms. This means more particularly that non-terminal, non-adjacent carbon atoms may be replaced by atoms such O, S, Se or an NR group where R is H or an alkyl. However, it is preferable that none of the carbon atoms in the <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radical is replaced by heteroatoms. Preferably, <semantics>Rd<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^d< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Re<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^e< / annotation>< / semantics> are selected from H and <semantics>C1−C10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals, especially from H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and pentyl. The term "cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl" used for the <semantics>Ra<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^a< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>Rc<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^c< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals in each case includes linear and branched <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals. This may include <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals where individual carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms. This means more particularly that non-terminal, non-adjacent carbon atoms may be replaced by atoms such as O, S, Se or an NR group where R is H or an alkyl. However, it is preferable that none of the carbon atoms in the <semantics>C1−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radical is replaced by heteroatoms. For example, the radicals may be cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals. More particularly, they may be open chain <semantics>C1−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl radicals. For the cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>- <semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-S-alkyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20−S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}-S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl and cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkynyl radicals too, the radicals in each case may be linear or branched. For the cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl and for the cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkenyl, the oxygen in each case is the connection site to the compound of the invention. Analogously, for the cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20−S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}-S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl and for the cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-S-alkenyl, the sulfur in each case is the connection site to the compound of the invention. Aryl in the case of the present invention is preferably understood to 35 mean a <semantics>C5−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-aryl, for instance a <semantics>C5−C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5-C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-aryl. A heteroaryl in the context of the present invention is understood to mean an aryl, where at least one carbon atom in the aryl in each case is replaced by a heteroatom. The heteroatom may, for example, be O, S, Se, Si, B, N or Ρ. In the compound of the invention, A1 is an electron-withdrawing radical having at least one C=C double bond. In addition, A2 is an electron-withdrawing radical having at least two conjugated C=C double bonds. For example, <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> has one, two or three C=C double bonds that may be conjugated to one another. For example, <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> has two or three conjugated C=C double bonds. In the case of A1 here, the at least one C=C double bond is preferably not part of an aromatic ring. It is likewise the case for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> that the at least two conjugated C=C double bonds are preferably not part of an aromatic ring. The <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups are thus each notable for their electron- withdrawing character and especially act as acceptor groups. In the certain compounds of the disclosure, the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>D2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and D3 blocks are each independently selected from the group of the following structural units: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] • , [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Independently selected means here that the individual conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>D2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks may each be identical or different structural units from those specified. It is also possible that two or more of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks can have the same base structure, for example [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] in which case, however, X'', Y'' and Z'' for the different conjugated blocks must not be the same, but must be different. This means that it is possible, for example, that <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is a furan and <semantics>D2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^2< / annotation>< / semantics> a thiophene. It is also possible, for example, that both <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>D2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are a thiophene, but the two thiophenes have different radicals. The examples just mentioned serve merely for illustration and should not be interpreted in a limiting manner. The coefficients o and q each independently assume the values of 0 and 1 for the compound of the invention. The coefficient p assumes the values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. However, this is subject to the proviso that at least one of the three coefficients o, p and q must be non-zero. This means that at least one of the three conjugated D1 to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks must be present. However, it is also possible, for example, for two or more of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks to be present. The structural units mentioned are as follows: - Y'' is selected from: N or CRg; - Z'' is selected from: N or CRh; - X'' is selected from: O, S, Se, Si(RiRi), P(Ri), P(O)Ri; - V is selected from: O, S, Se or NRk; - V' is selected from: O, S, Se or NRk; preferably NRk, - X1 is selected from: NR1, CR1Rm; - <semantics>W1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>W4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^4< / annotation>< / semantics> are independently selected from: N, <semantics>CRn<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">CR^n< / annotation>< / semantics>; where the <semantics>Rg<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^g< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>Rn<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^n< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals and the <semantics>R15<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{15}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R24<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{24}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals, and the <semantics>R27<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{27}< / annotation>< / semantics> to R34 radicals, are each independently selected from the group of the radicals as Ra to Rc. In addition, the Rg and Rh radicals may be joined to one another in the form of a ring structure. Moreover, an aryl radical may be fused to said ring structure. It is possible here that the latter aryl radical is substituted. The ring structure may, for example, be a five-, six- or seven- membered ring. For example, it may be a saturated ring. For example, the ring may have heteroatoms, for instance O or S. Alternatively, it is possible that the ring is a homocyclic ring. For example, the ring may be substituted. For example, the ring may have fluorine atoms or alkyl groups as substituents. The ring may also have at least partly fluorinated alkyl groups as substituents. 30 The aryl radical which may be fused onto the ring structure may, for example, be a benzene ring having two carbon atoms in common with the ring structure. The conjugated D1 to D3 blocks together with the two five-membered rings that surround them, together with the two electron-withdrawing <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups, form a significant <semantics>π<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\pi< / annotation>< / semantics> electron system. Advantages of the compound Whether an organic compound is suitable for use in photoactive organic electronic components depends upon factors including the absorption characteristics of the compound. High absorption is desirable. More particularly, it is advantageous when the compound absorbs within a broad range of the available spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, since photons of a wide variety of different wavelengths can thus be utilized for the generation of electrical power. Specifically in the region of wavelengths less than 600 nm - especially less than 500 nm - the absorption of many organic compounds conventionally used in photoactive organic electronic components is inadequate. The effect of this is that the photons in this wavelength range cannot be utilized to a sufficient degree. By contrast, the inventors of the present invention have found that the inventive compounds of the general formula (I) exhibit astonishingly good absorption characteristics within a comparatively broad range of visible light (about 400 to 700 nm). More particularly, a surprisingly high absorption in the short-wave solar spectral range from about 400 to 600 nm was found. Particularly for the wavelength range below 500 nm, distinctly better absorption characteristics were observed than is the case for many compounds conventionally used in photoactive organic electronic components. The inventors of the present invention have recognized that compounds of the general structure of formula (I) have molecular orbitals having an energy level that enables particularly good absorption properties in the high-energy, i.e. short-wave, region of visible light as well. The compounds are thus of excellent suitability for use in photoactive organic electronic components, for example for components which convert sunlight to electrical power, for instance in photodetectors and light-sensitive transistors, particularly in organic solar cells. The inventors have additionally found that the compound of the invention having an oxygen atom in the structural element: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of formula (I) generally leads to better optical properties than is the case for compounds that are similar but lack oxygen. It has been found, for example, that the presence of O is preferable over S in this structural element. For example, furan is preferable over thiophene. The inventors have also found that the effect possessed by said structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of formula (I) that has just been described occurs especially in a compound having an <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> group having at least two conjugated C=C double bonds. The common presence of the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] together with an electron-withdrawing group A2 having at least two conjugated C=C double bonds - according to the present invention - is a structure motif that has a surprisingly favorable effect on the absorption properties of the compound of the invention. Moreover, the compounds of the invention generally exhibit good processibility and can be deposited by conventional methods in thin organic layers alone or together with further materials. They additionally have adequate thermal, chemical and electrochemical stability to satisfy the demands that are typically made on them in the manufacture and operation of photoactive organic electronic components. Finally, the compounds are producible with a moderate degree of technical complexity and hence are also comparatively inexpensive. There follows a specification of a series of preferred embodiments of the present invention: in a preferred embodiment, exactly one of the three coefficients o, p and q is 1, while the two other coefficients are zero. This means that exactly one of the three conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks is present in the compound. The inventors of the present invention have recognized that even compounds having just one of the three conjugated D1 to D3 blocks together with the two five-membered rings surrounding them and the acceptor groups <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> exhibit excellent absorption in the short- wave region of the visible spectrum. Compared to compounds having more than one conjugated block, they are additionally more easily preparable since fewer synthesis steps are required. More particularly, they also have a lower molecular weight than analogous compounds having more than one conjugated block and usually have good evaporability for that reason. It has been shown, for example, that many of these compounds can be evaporated under reduced pressure without leaving a residue. For this reason, these compounds generally have good depositability by means of gas phase deposition or other methods that entail prior evaporation or sublimation of the compound. It is thus possible to use the compounds on the industrial scale as well for production of photoactive organic electrical components with a low level of complexity and expense. In a different embodiment, more than one of the three coefficients o, p and q is non-zero. For example, exactly two of the three coefficients may be 1 or all three coefficients are 1. It is thus possible, for example, for exactly two of the three conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks to be present, or exactly three of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks. More conjugated blocks are also conceivable (when <semantics>p>1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">p > 1< / annotation>< / semantics>). The inventors of the present invention have recognized that the presence of more than one conjugated D1 to D3 block can facilitate processing in the liquid phase. This means that deposition of the compound in organic layers in the liquid phase can be conducted more easily when more than just one conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block is present. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the compound has at least one conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block which is not the structural unit: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] This is favorable for the absorption properties. One embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention having a molecular weight between about 300 and about 2000 g / mol, especially a molecular weight not less than 330 g / mol and not more than 1200 g / mol. A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 15 [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where, in each of these three radicals for A1, either the E isomer or the Z isomer may each independently be present for each C=C double bond in each case. For each C=C double bond, either the E isomer ("E" = entgegen (opposite); i.e. trans configuration) or the Z isomer ("Z" = <semantics>zusammen<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">zusammen< / annotation>< / semantics> (together); i.e. cis configuration) may be present. This is to be demonstrated hereinafter with reference to the example of the [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] radical. Taking account of all E and Z isomers for the three C=C double bonds results in up to 8 stereoisomers for said radical: Isomer 1: Isomer 2: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 1 In isomer 1, the radicals on the first double bond, <semantics>R5⋆<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5\star}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{3}< / annotation>< / semantics>, are arranged cis to one another, while <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{3}< / annotation>< / semantics> in isomer 2 are arranged trans to one another (isomer 2 can be obtained from isomer 1 by implementing a notional rotation by 180° about the first of the three 5 C=C double bonds). Isomer 3: Isomer 4: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] • In isomer 1, <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics> are arranged trans to one another, while they are arranged cis to one another in isomer 3 (isomer 3 can be obtained from isomer 1 by implementing a notional rotation by 180° about the second of the three C=C double bonds). In isomer 3, as in isomer 1, <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics> on the first C=C double bond are in cis positions. In isomer 4, <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{3}< / annotation>< / semantics>, by contrast, are in trans positions (isomer 4 can be obtained from isomer 3 by implementing a notional rotation by 15 180° about the first of the three C=C double bonds). Isomer 5: Isomer 6: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] • In isomer 3, <semantics>Q1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are arranged cis to one another, while they are arranged trans to one another in isomer 5 (isomer 5 can be obtained from isomer 3 by implementing a notional rotation by 180° about the third of the three C=C double bonds). In isomer 5, as in isomer 1, <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics> on the first C=C double bond are in cis positions.

Isomer 7: Isomer 8: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] In isomer 1, <semantics>Q1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are arranged cis to one another, while they are arranged trans to one another in isomer 7 (isomer 7 can be obtained from isomer 1 by implementing a notional rotation by 180° about the third of the three C=C double bonds). In isomer 7, as in isomer 1, <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics> on the first C=C double bond are in cis positions.

In an analogous manner, for the other two specified radicals of <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and, there may in each case be up to 8 stereoisomers as result from the E-Z isomerism in the up to three C=C double bonds. The stereoisomers are not shown explicitly merely for the sake of conciseness, but have a comparable effect with regard to their electronic properties. However, preference is given to the three radicals shown explicitly for <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>. In this case, the coefficients m and l are each independently 0 or 1. For example, both coefficients may simultaneously be 0 or both may at the same time be 1. Preferably, exactly one of the two coefficients 25 is 1 and the other of the two coefficients is 0. <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> is selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 1 [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where, in each of these three radicals for A2, either the E isomer or the Z isomer may each independently be present for each C=C double bond in each case. In an analogous manner to that already shown for Al above, for the three radicals of Al shown, there may be up to stereoisomers as result from the <semantics>E−Z<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">E-Z< / annotation>< / semantics> isomerism in the up to 3 C=C double bonds. The stereoisomers are not shown explicitly merely for the sake of conciseness, but have a comparable effect with regard to their electronic properties. However, preference is given to the three radicals shown explicitly for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>. In this case, the coefficient n in each case is 0 or 1. Preferably, n 15 is zero. The <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals, for the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups, are each independently selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, 19 _ halogen, - CN, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2−C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, 5 - cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1−C20−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - aryl, - heteroaryl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, alkenyl, O-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl radicals may each independently be substituted and 10 where it is possible in each case independently for a ring to be formed by the following pairs of radicals together: <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^7< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R9<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^9< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6*< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^7< / annotation>< / semantics>. This applies in each case to the three radicals shown above and as 15 described herein for <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and to the three radicals shown for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>. It will be apparent to the person skilled in the art that a corresponding bridge or ring formation is equally possible in the E and Z isomers that have not been shown explicitly. Corresponding ring formation means here in each case that radicals arranged in cis 20 positions to one another on a C=C double bond of <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> can form a ring with one another. In addition, a radical attached to an atom group of <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> which is attached to a C=C double bond of <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and is cis to a further radical on the same double bond can form a ring with this further radical. The same applies in each case to <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>. In other words: 25 radicals (<semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>) that are on the same side of the conjugated backbone of one of the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> or <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals and are in 1,2 positions to one another - on a C=C double bond - or in 1,3 positions - on a C=C-C structural unit, i.e. are spatially adjacent, can form a ring with one another. 30 The statements made so far with regard to the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals are applicable with the proviso that, for <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, exactly one of the <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals represents a linkage <semantics>32<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\frac{3}{2}< / annotation>< / semantics> by means of which <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I), and with the further proviso that, for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>, exactly one of the <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^7< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R9<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^9< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals represents a linkage <Formule mathématique disponible dans le document PDF, Math available in the PDF document>$\S$ by means of which <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I).

More particularly, the <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radical is the linkage <semantics>34<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\frac{3}{4}< / annotation>< / semantics>. As specified, for <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics>, hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, alkenyl, O-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl radicals may each independently be substituted. For example, hydrogen atoms may be replaced by halogen atoms, for example fluorine atoms. In the case of formation of a ring by pairs of radicals, the ring may be a substituted or unsubstituted five-, six- or seven-membered ring. For example, it may be a cyclopentene, cyclohexene or cycloheptene ring. 5 The terms halogen, CN, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl should each likewise be understood as already elucidated in connection with the Ra to Rc radicals. The <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals for the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups are each 10 independently selected from the group of the radicals: - H, - CN, - COOR where R is selected from the group of radicals: H and cyclic or open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogen atoms in the 15 alkyl may be replaced by fluorine atoms, with the proviso that <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> cannot both at the same time be H. For example, exactly one of the <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> or <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals may be CN and the other of the two radicals may be H. More particularly, it is also possible that <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> are both CN. It is likewise possible, for 20 example, for one of the <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> or <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals to be <semantics>COORf<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">COOR^f< / annotation>< / semantics> and for the other of the two radicals to be H or CN. It is also possible for both radicals at the same time to be COORf. The <semantics>R13<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{13}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R14<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{14}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals, for the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups, are each independently selected from the same group of radicals as Rd and Re. 25 <semantics>U1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>U2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>T1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>T4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, for the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups, are each independently selected from the group consisting of: - O, - S and - C(CN)2. 30 For example, <semantics>U1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>U2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^2< / annotation>< / semantics> may each be the same. For example, <semantics>U1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>U2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">U^2< / annotation>< / semantics> may each be 0 or each be S. For example, is also possible for each of <semantics>T1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>T4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^4< / annotation>< / semantics> to be the same. For example, <semantics>T1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>T4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^4< / annotation>< / semantics> may each be 0. For example, <semantics>T1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>T4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">T^4< / annotation>< / semantics> may also each be S. 22 <semantics>Q1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Q2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^2< / annotation>< / semantics> for the <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups are each independently selected from the group consisting of O and S. For example, <semantics>Q1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Q2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^2< / annotation>< / semantics> may be the same. For example, <semantics>Q1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Q2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Q^2< / annotation>< / semantics> may each be 0 or each be S. When <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are chosen as described in this embodiment, this has a particularly favorable effect on the absorption properties. A particularly preferred embodiment relates to the compound of the invention where, for <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, the <semantics>R5⋆<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5\star< / annotation>< / semantics> radical represents the linkage <Formule mathématique disponible dans le document PDF, Math available in the PDF document>$\S$ by means of which <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I), such that <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] , • [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where, in each of these three radicals for A1, for each C=C double bond independently, either the E isomer or the Z isomer may be present. In addition, in this embodiment, for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>, the <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6*< / annotation>< / semantics> radical represents the linkage <Formule mathématique disponible dans le document PDF, Math available in the PDF document>$\S$ by means of which <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I), such that <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> is selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 7 • [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where, in each of these three radicals for A2, for each C=C double bond independently, either the E isomer or the Z isomer may be present. 15 In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the compound of the formula (I) is symmetric, for example mirror-symmetric. More particularly, the molecule may have a mirror plane at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the molecule. In that case, the synthesis of the compound of the invention can be simplified. In one embodiment of the compound according to the invention, the two electron-withdrawing groups <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are each identical. It has been found that a certain degree of symmetry or virtually symmetric structures often show particularly favorable absorption properties. In many cases, this also facilitates the synthesis of the compound. A development of the invention has, as <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] and, as <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>, [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Compounds having these side chains are readily obtainable by means of Knoevenagel condensation. The preparation thereof is technically simple to implement. Moreover, these groups are good acceptors, especially when at least one of the two <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> or <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals is CN. A preferred development of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where each of the <semantics>R11<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{11}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{12}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals is CN. By virtue of the total of four nitrile groups in this case, it is possible to achieve a particularly good acceptor effect of the two A1 and A2 groups. The acceptor effect is of significance for the position of the energy levels which essentially determine the absorption properties. With compounds of the form described, it was 25 possible to observe particularly good absorption in the high-energy region of visible light as well, in interplay with the other molecular units of the compound of the invention. A preferred form of the invention is the compound of the invention where the <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals are each independently selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogens in the alkyl may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms. Here too, in accordance with the general structure of the compound of the invention, the proviso is applicable that, for <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, exactly one of the <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals represents a linkage <semantics>35<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\frac{3}{5}< / annotation>< / semantics> by means of which <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I). In addition, correspondingly, the proviso is applicable that, for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>, exactly one of the <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^7< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R9<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^9< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals represents a linkage <semantics>85<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\frac{8}{5}< / annotation>< / semantics> by means of which <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> is bonded to the structural element [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] of the compound of the general formula (I). Preferably, the attachment of <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is again by means of <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, especially <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics>. Likewise preferably, the attachment of <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^{2}< / annotation>< / semantics> is by means of <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{8}< / annotation>< / semantics>, especially <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics>. In this embodiment too, in accordance with the general structure of the compound of the invention, the following pairs of radicals: R1 and <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^2< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^4< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^3< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^5*< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^7< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R9<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^9< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R8<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^8< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^6*< / annotation>< / semantics> and R' may form a ring with one another. The ring may especially be a five-, six- or seven-membered ring. For example, it may be a cyclopentene, cyclohexene or cycloheptene. The <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl may in each case also be linear or branched. The alkyl radical may also be partly or fully fluorinated, preferably perfluorinated, but may also be free of fluorine atoms. The compound of the invention does not require any long-chain R1 to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals. Instead, the inventors have observed that the desired high absorption can also be achieved with the radicals described here. This can be advantageous when the compound is to be evaporable for the purpose of processing without thermal breakdown. Moreover, compounds having the radicals mentioned, which are of comparatively small size, are preparable with higher atom efficiency and usually also more easily synthesizable than compounds with larger <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals. In one embodiment of the present invention, the compound of the invention has <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals, at least one of which is a fluorine atom or a fluorinated alkyl. Preferably, at least two or even more of the <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals are fluorine atoms or fluorinated alkyl radicals. The introduction of electron-withdrawing fluorine can affect the position of the energy levels of the molecular orbitals. In another development, at least four of the <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{10}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R5*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{5*}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R6*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{6*}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals are hydrogen atoms, preferably at least six. In this case, the electron-withdrawing <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> groups are generally preparable in a particularly simple manner. A particularly preferred embodiment of the compound of the invention has an A1 selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] These groups for A1 are excellent acceptors, have a good electron- withdrawing effect, are preparable without any great complexity and have been found to be useful for the preparation of compounds having 5 particularly good absorption properties. A likewise particularly preferred embodiment of the compound of the invention has an A2 selected from the group of the following radicals: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 10 These groups for <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are excellent acceptors, have a good electron- withdrawing effect, are preparable without any great complexity and have been found to be useful for the preparation of compounds having particularly good absorption properties. A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where X is oxygen (0). In this case, each of the five-membered rings which surround the middle conjugated D1 to D3 blocks has an oxygen atom in the ring. For example, the two five- membered rings may be furans. By virtue of the fact that oxygen is chosen for X, there is an increase in the symmetry of the compound. The symmetry of compounds often plays an important role in electron transitions. The inventors of the present invention have recognized that the compounds with <semantics>X=<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">X =< / annotation>< / semantics> O exhibit particularly good absorption properties. The structural element comprising X may, for example, be a furan. For example, it has been found that the use of two furans for the outer five-membered rings leads to higher absorption than is the case with thiophenes. A preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to the compound of the invention with <semantics>X=oxygen<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">X = oxygen< / annotation>< / semantics>, with <semantics>m=n=0<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">m = n = 0< / annotation>< / semantics>, with <semantics>o=q<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">o = q< / annotation>< / semantics> = 0 and with p selected from: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, having the general formula: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Compounds of this kind are obtainable with a low level of technical complexity and have particularly good absorption properties. They are of good suitability for use, for example, in photoactive organic components. A particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to the compound of the invention where X is oxygen and where the coefficients m, n, o and q are each zero. In addition, p is selected from 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. A compound of this kind has the following general formula: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] - - A compound of this formula has two acceptors A1 and A2 that are similar or identical in terms of their basic structure, and two five- membered rings, each of which has an oxygen atom in the ring structure. Preferably, the two five-membered rings are furans, where the furans may also be substituted. Compounds of the formula described do not just have good synthetic obtainability and good suitability for the production of layers for photoactive organic electronic components, but also exhibit particularly good absorption properties, particularly for the wavelength range between 400 and 600 nm. Specifically for wavelengths below 500 nm, much higher absorptions are generally possible than with most conventional compounds. For example, with these compounds, stronger absorption is achievable than with comparable compounds in which the D2-surrounding five-membered rings are thiophenes. The improved absorption can be utilized for the attainment of higher sensitivities of photodetectors or of light-sensitive field-effect transistors and especially for the achievement of a higher efficiency of organic solar cells. All these applications require organic compounds which, like the compound of the invention, can absorb and thus make it possible to utilize sunlight of different wavelength. In a preferred embodiment of the two embodiments of the compound of the invention just mentioned, <semantics>p=1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">p = 1< / annotation>< / semantics>. This is favorable, for example, if the compound is to be evaporable. When <semantics>p=1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">p = 1< / annotation>< / semantics>, there are also fewer reaction steps required. One development of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where Y, Y', Z and Z' are each independently selected from: N or CRa where Ra is selected from the group of the following radicals: - H - F, 30 - <semantics>C1−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C2−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, 5 - <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkenyl, - <semantics>C2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkenyl, - <semantics>C2−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_2-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkynyl, - phenyl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl, S-alkyl, alkenyl, O- 10 alkenyl, S-alkenyl, alkynyl and phenyl radicals may each independently be substituted, especially replaced by fluorine atoms. The alkyl, O-alkyl, S-alkyl, alkenyl, O-alkenyl, S-alkenyl, alkynyl radicals may each also be linear or branched. 15 Ra for each of the different placeholders Y, Y', Z and Z' may be chosen differently. Further preferably, Y, Y', Z, Z' are each independently selected from: N, CH, C-F, C-CH3, C-CF3, C-C2H5, C-C3H8, C-OCH3, C-OC2H5, C-SCH3, C-SC2H5. Compounds having these radicals that are not very sterically 20 demanding on the two five-membered rings often allow a technically less complex synthesis. In one embodiment, at least one of the positions Y, Y', Z and Z' is N. The inventors have found that the presence of N at one of the Y, Y', Z and Z' positions leads controlled lowering of the highest 25 molecular orbital occupied by electrons (HOMO). This allows the absorption spectrum of the compound of the invention to be shifted toward shorter wavelengths. When two or more of the Y, Y', Z and <semantics>Z′<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Z'< / annotation>< / semantics> positions are occupied by N, the effect is enhanced. Accordingly, it may also be preferable that exactly 2, 3 or even 4 of the Y, Y', Z 30 and Z' positions are occupied by N. Most preferably, Y, Y', Z, Z' are each CH. In this case, the two five-membered rings that surround the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks are each furan rings. This increases the symmetry of the molecule, which is a possible reason for the particularly favorable absorption 35 properties of these compounds, without being bound by theory. 31 Another embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where the compound has at least one conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block having at least one substituent, where the substituent is a fluorine atom or a fluoroalkyl. The inventors of the present invention have found that the fluorine substituents generally lead to a certain lowering of energy of the HOMO of the compound of the invention for each substituent. The extent of the effect depends on the size of the orbital coefficient of the HOMO on the respective carbon atom to which the fluorine substituent binds in the compound of the invention. This generally leads to a shift in the absorption spectrum toward shorter wavelengths. Finally, the inventors have also found that fluorine substituents can form S-F interactions with sulfur atoms of adjacent S-containing rings, which can promote higher co-planarity of the compound of the invention. This frequently improves the charge transport properties of the compound. This can also have a favorable effect on the absorption. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where the compound has at least one conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block having at least one <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C20<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{20}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl alkyl substituent, preferably <semantics>C1−C10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, especially <semantics>C1−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl. The inventors of the present invention have found that alkyl substituents have an electron- donating effect to a minor degree. They can lead to a slight rise in the HOMO of the compound of the invention, the extent of the effect depending on the size of the orbital coefficient of the HOMO on the particular carbon atom to which the alkyl substituent binds in the compound of the invention. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where the compound has at least one conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block having at least one O-alkyl substituent <semantics>C1−C20−O−alkyl<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{20}-O-alkyl< / annotation>< / semantics>, preferably <semantics>C1−C10−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{10}-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, especially <semantics>C1−C5−O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5-O< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl. O-Alkyl substituents, i.e. alkoxy groups, feature a much more marked electron-donating effect much stronger than that of alkyl substituents. O-Alkyls thus lead to a rise in the HOMO. The introduction of O-alkyl substituents can enable a shift in the absorption spectrum toward longer wavelengths. Moreover, O-alkyl groups are less sterically demanding than alkyl groups and can contribute, via S-O or O-H interactions, to stiffening of the molecular structure of the compound of the invention. Another embodiment of the invention relates to a compound of the invention where at least one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks that must be present in the compound has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] • In this case, the compound has a total of at least three aromatic five-membered rings as part of a conjugated <semantics>π<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\pi< / annotation>< / semantics>-electron system. This combination has been found to be particularly favorable for the absorption properties in experiments. In one embodiment, at least one of the <semantics>Y″<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Y''< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Z″<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Z''< / annotation>< / semantics> positions is N. The inventors have found that the presence of N at one of the Y'' and Z'' positions leads controlled lowering of the highest molecular orbital occupied by electrons (HOMO). The effects are comparable here with the effects described above for N at one of the Y, Y', Z and Z' positions. It is particularly preferable in another embodiment when at least one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks that must be present in the compound has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where the Rg and Rh radicals are independently selected from the group of the following radicals: - H - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where individual carbon atoms may be replaced by heteroatoms, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be substituted by fluorine, where the Rg and Rh radicals may be joined to one another in the form of a ring structure, and where an aryl radical may be fused to the ring structure. The latter aryl radical may also be substituted, for example fluorinated. The alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each also be linear or branched. The ring structure may, for example, be a five-, six- or seven- membered ring which, as well as carbon atoms, may also have oxygen or sulfur atoms. The ring may thus be heterocyclic or homocyclic. The ring is preferably saturated. For example, the ring may be substituted. For example, the ring may have fluorine atoms or alkyl groups as substituents. The ring may also have at least partly fluorinated alkyl groups as substituents. The fluorination can achieve an electron-withdrawing effect. In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment just mentioned, Rg and Rh are each independently selected from the group of the radicals, H, F, methyl, methoxy, ethyl, ethyloxy, propyl, propyloxy, where hydrogen atoms in each of methyl, methoxy, ethyl, ethyloxy, propyl and propyloxy may be substituted by fluorine. Particular preference is given to compounds of the invention where <semantics>X″=S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">X'' = S< / annotation>< / semantics>. Preference is thus given to compounds of the invention having, for at least one of the three conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks, a five-membered ring of the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where X'' is sulfur. It is most preferable when the ring is a substituted or unsubstituted thiophene ring, i.e. when no further heteroatoms are present in the five-membered ring aside from sulfur. The use of a five-membered ring including sulfur as one of the conjugated blocks for <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> for achievement of high absorption values at short wavelengths of visible light has been found to be particularly favorable experimentally. A further particular embodiment of the invention relates to the compound of the invention where X is oxygen and where there is exactly one conjugated block of <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, i.e. exactly one of the coefficients o, p and q is 1, while the two others are each zero, in which the conjugated block is [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where X'' is sulfur. In this case, the compound is a compound of the following general formula: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] A combination of two outer five-membered rings each with an oxygen and a middle five-membered ring with sulfur in conjunction with the two acceptors <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> has been found to be a particularly suitable structural element in order to achieve the favorable absorption properties in the form of a readily obtainable and hence inexpensive compound. A further embodiment relates to the compound of the invention where there is at least one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks in the compound and it has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>R17<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{17}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R18<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{18}< / annotation>< / semantics> are independently selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms. The alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals here may each also be linear or branched. The inventors of the present invention have observed that this structural element is of excellent suitability as one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks in order to obtain compounds having the desired high absorption properties. Further preferably, <semantics>R17<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{17}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R18<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{18}< / annotation>< / semantics> are each hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy. Most preferably, <semantics>R17<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{17}< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>R18<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{18}< / annotation>< / semantics> are each hydrogen. A development relates to the compound of the invention where there is at least one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks in the compound and it has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>X1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">X^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is selected from: <semantics>NR1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">NR^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>CR1Rm<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">CR^1R^m< / annotation>< / semantics>, where <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>Rm<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^m< / annotation>< / semantics> are each independently selected from the group of the radicals: - H, - open-chain <semantics>C1−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-aryl - <semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-heteroaryl where hydrogen atoms in the open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl may at least partly be replaced by fluorine atoms, and where hydrogen atoms in the <semantics>C5−C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5-C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-aryl and the <semantics>C5−C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5-C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-heteroaryl may be substituted, for example by fluorine atoms, and where the open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl may be linear or branched, and where <semantics>R27<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{27}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R32<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{32}< / annotation>< / semantics> are independently selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1−C5−S−alkyl<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5-S-alkyl< / annotation>< / semantics>, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms and where the radicals may each independently be linear or branched. For example, the <semantics>C5−C12<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5-C_{12}< / annotation>< / semantics>-aryl is the <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> radical and <semantics>Rm<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^m< / annotation>< / semantics> is a phenyl which may in turn be substituted. A further embodiment relates to the compound of the invention where there is at least one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks in the compound and it has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is H or an open-chain <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl or phenyl, and where <semantics>R27<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{27}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R32<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{32}< / annotation>< / semantics> are independently selected from the group of the following radicals: 5 - H, - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms. The alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each also independently be linear or branched. The inventors of the present invention have observed that this structural element is of excellent suitability as one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks in order to obtain compounds having the desired high absorption properties. Just like fluorene, carbazole tends to lead to a short-wave shift in absorption and to a lowered HOMO compared to the use of a thiophene or furan as conjugated block. Carbazole is a stronger donor than fluorene, and so the HOMO of carbazole derivatives is usually higher than that of analogous fluorenes. Preferably, <semantics>R1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^1< / annotation>< / semantics> is H, methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl. It is further preferable when <semantics>R27<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{27}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R32<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{32}< / annotation>< / semantics> are each selected from the group comprising: H, F, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy. For example, it is also possible for all <semantics>R27<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{27}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>R32<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^{32}< / annotation>< / semantics> radicals to each be hydrogen. A preferred development relates to the compound of the invention where there is at least one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks in the compound and it has the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>W1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>W4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^4< / annotation>< / semantics> are independently selected from: N and <semantics>CRn<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">CR^n< / annotation>< / semantics>, where Rn is selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, - F, - <semantics>C1−C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1−C5−S−alkyl<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_5-S-alkyl< / annotation>< / semantics>, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms. The alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each also independently be linear or branched. The inventors of the present invention have observed that this structural element is of excellent suitability as one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks in order to obtain compounds having the desired high absorption properties. Incorporation generally leads to a short-wave shift in absorption and lowered HOMO compared to the use of a thiophene or furan as conjugated block. It is further preferable when <semantics>Rn<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^n< / annotation>< / semantics>, for <semantics>W1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>W4<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">W^4< / annotation>< / semantics>, is in each case independently selected from H, methyl, methoxy, ethyl, ethoxy, propyl, propyloxy.

R15 and R16 here are preferably selected from the group of the following radicals: - H, - F, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-O-alkyl, - <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C5<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_5< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>S<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">S< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl, where hydrogen atoms in the alkyl, O-alkyl and S-alkyl radicals may each independently be replaced by fluorine atoms.

The inventors of the present invention have recognized that this structural element is likewise suitable as one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks in order to obtain compounds having good absorption properties. Incorporation of this structural element generally leads to improved co-planarity with respect to the neighboring structural units. A shift in the absorption spectrum toward longer wavelengths can thus be brought about in a controlled manner.

The inventors of the present invention have recognized that this structural element is likewise suitable as one of the conjugated D1 to D3 blocks in order to obtain compounds having good absorption properties.

In another embodiment, at least one of the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks is only a structural unit of the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 15 if there is at least one further donor <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> which is not a conjugated block of the structural unit [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] A particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to the compound of the invention where the conjugated <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> blocks are each independently selected from the group of the following structural units: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] • [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] / 5 The inventors of the present invention have observed that compounds having one of these conjugated blocks for <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> have unexpectedly high absorption in the short-wave range, particularly for wavelengths less than 500 nm, which generally distinctly exceed the absorption of conventional compounds. The present invention relates not only to the compound of the invention but additionally to the use of the compound of the invention in a photoactive organic electronic component. Photoactive organic electronic components convert electromagnetic radiation to electrical energy. This principle is applied in various kinds of photoactive organic electronic component. The use of compounds of the invention that exhibit particularly high absorption over the entire wavelength range of visible light and additionally utilize short-wave visible light (about 400 to 600 nm) more effectively than conventional organic compounds, merely owing to their excellent absorption properties, are already of excellent suitability for use in photoactive organic electronic components. High-energy photons can also be absorbed and hence trigger electron transitions. Since the compounds of the invention can better absorb higher-energy photons, they utilize the short-wave spectrum of visible light more efficiently. With the use of the compound of the invention, it is thus possible to improve the efficiency and sensitivity of photoactive organic electronic components. For instance, in the case of photodetectors that utilize the compounds of the invention, better sensitivity may be enabled than in the case of comparable photodetectors with conventional organic compounds that do not exhibit the favorable absorption properties of the compound of the invention. For example, the compounds of the invention, as well as photodetectors, can also be used for light- sensitive field-effect transistors. Use in the field of photo- conductors for printing and copying machines is also conceivable. Analogously, it is also possible in other photoactive organic electronic components to enhance sensitivity or efficiency through the use of the compounds of the invention. It is most preferable here to use the compound of the invention in a photoactive organic electronic component which is an organic solar cell. The efficient utilization of visible light with short wavelengths as well with the compounds of the invention makes it possible to produce organic solar cells with a higher efficiency than solar cells based on the basis of organic compounds that do not feature these favorable absorption properties. Moreover, the compounds of the invention also have adequate charge carrier transport properties that make them suitable for use in photoactive organic electronic components in general and for organic solar cells in particular. The present invention also relates to a photoactive organic electronic component comprising the compound of the invention. As just described, the inventors of the present invention have found that the compounds of the invention, owing to their absorption properties, are of excellent suitability for use in photoactive organic electronic components. In a preferred embodiment, the photoactive organic electronic component has a photoactive layer, for example a light-sensitive layer comprising the compound of the invention. In a further embodiment, the photoactive organic electronic component has at least two electrodes between which the photoactive layer is disposed. In a further embodiment, the component has further layers, especially charge transport layers, for instance electron transport layers and hole transport layers. In a further embodiment, the component has a substrate. More particularly, one of the electrodes of the component may be mounted on the substrate. In a further embodiment, the photoactive organic electronic component comprises organic solar cells, photodetectors, solution-processed solar cells, xerographic layers, photoconductors for printing or copying machines. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the photoactive organic electronic component is an organic solar cell. Solar cells comprising the compound of the invention enable particularly efficient utilization of the short-wave spectrum of visible light. In a development of the organic solar cell just described, the organic solar cell has a photoactive region having at least one organic donor material in contact with at least one organic acceptor material, wherein the donor material and the acceptor material form a donor-acceptor heterojunction, specifically also what is called a bulk heterojunction (BHJ), and wherein the photoactive region comprises at least one compound of the formula I. For example, the compound of the invention can be used a standard setup of organic solar cells as described in the literature. A setup already known from the literature for a standard organic solar cell consists, for example, in pin or nip diodes [Martin Pfeiffer, "Controlled doping of organic vacuum deposited dye layers: basics and applications", PhD thesis TU-Dresden, 1999 and WO 2011 161 108]: a pin solar cell consists here of a carrier / substrate with an adjoining, usually transparent base contact, p layer(s), i layer(s), n layer(s) and a top contact. A nip solar cell consists of a carrier / substrate with an adjoining, usually transparent base contact, n layer(s), i layer(s), p layer(s) and a top contact. Means here that n or p doping leads to an increase in the density of free electrons / holes in the thermal equilibrium state. Thus, layers of this kind should be regarded primarily as transport layers. It is also possible that n or p layers are at least partly nominally undoped and have preferably electron-conducting or hole-conducting properties only by virtue of the material properties (for example different mobility) or owing to different impurities (for example remaining residues from the synthesis or the layer production) or through environmental influences (for example adjoining layers, inward diffusion of metals or other organic materials, gas doping from the surrounding atmosphere). In this context, layers of this kind should preferably be regarded as transport layers. The excitons arrive via diffusion at an interface of this kind, where electrons and holes are separated from one another. The material that accepts the electrons is referred to as acceptor, and the material that absorbs the holes as donor. 5 The term "i layer" characterizes an undoped or intrinsic layer. One or more i layers may consist of one material (planar heterojunctions, PHJs) or of a mixture of two or more materials, called bulk hetero- junctions (BHJs), which have an interpenetrating network. Also known from the literature are organic pin tandem cells and pin 10 multiple cells DE 10 2004 014 046. In this regard, WO 2011 161 108 A1 discloses a proposal for implementation in the form of a photoactive component with an electrode and a counterelectrode, wherein at least one organic layer system is disposed between the electrodes, and also with at least two photoactive layer systems and at least two 15 different transport layer systems of the same charge carrier type between the photoactive layer systems, characterized in that one transport layer system is matched in terms of energy to one of the two photoactive layer systems and the other transport layer system is transparent. 20 The layers of the invention may especially be used as absorber material in said types of photoactive organic electronic components or in similar, commonly known photoactive organic electronic components in the respective absorber layer. In a further embodiment, the photoactive organic electronic component 25 is a single cell, a tandem cell, triple cell, quadruple cell or another multiple cell. "Tandem cell" in the present application is understood to mean that two functional cells are stacked one on top of another in spatial terms and are connected in series, where one or more interlayers may be arranged between the cells. A multiple cell 30 or multi-junction cell is likewise understood to mean that more than two functional cells are stacked one on top of another in spatial terms and are connected in series, where an interlayer may be arranged between the cells. Preferably, the component consists of a combination of nip, ni, ip, 35 pnip, pni, pip, nipn, nin, ipn, pnipn, pnin or pipn structures which of the multiple independent combinations containing at least one i layer are stacked one on top of another. In a further development, the photoactive organic electronic component of the invention is a component including at least one layer comprising the compound of the invention, wherein the compound of the invention and / or said layer is deposited by means of vacuum processing, gas phase deposition or solution processing. The invention additionally relates to a compound for the preparation of the compound of the invention, having the following general formula: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where Y, Z and <semantics>A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^2< / annotation>< / semantics> are as defined herein and where M is selected from one of the following functional groups: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>R*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^*< / annotation>< / semantics> is a <semantics>C1−C10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1-C_{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl and where the Hal* group is a halogen. Halogen means F, Cl, Br and I, preferably Cl, Br and I. The compound is an important starting material for the preparation of the inventive compound as described herein. The invention further relates to a process for preparing the compound of the invention. The process comprises, as a process step, a coupling reaction in which the compound of the general formula just described [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] reacts with a further compound of the following general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] <semantics>A1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1< / annotation>< / semantics>, Y', Z', X, <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> and o, p and q are defined for the further compound as described for the compound of the invention. The Hal group is additionally a halogen. This may be F, Cl, Br and I, preferably Cl, Br and I, especially Br and I. In a further embodiment of the process of the invention, the process comprises a coupling reaction in which two equivalents of the described compound having the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] react with a further compound of the general formula [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 7 by means of which it is possible, by a simplified route, to prepare mirror-symmetric compounds of the invention in which <semantics>X=O<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">X = O< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>Y=Y<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Y = Y< / annotation>< / semantics>, <semantics>Z=Z<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">Z = Z< / annotation>< / semantics> and <semantics>A1=A2<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">A^1 = A^2< / annotation>< / semantics>. The inventors of the present invention have found that the compounds of the invention are obtainable by means of coupling reactions in good yields and selectivities with acceptable experimental work. In a preferred embodiment of the process of the invention, Pd-based catalysts are used in the coupling reaction. An example of particularly good suitability is Pd(PPh3)4. Preferably, the coupling reaction in the process of the invention is a reaction selected from the group of the following coupling reactions: Stille coupling, Negishi coupling and Suzuki coupling. These coupling reactions have been found to be particularly suitable for the synthesis of the compounds of the invention. The synthesis of the compounds of the invention is to be elucidated hereinafter in general and more particularly with reference to a number of specific examples. Advantageously, the compounds of the invention can be made available by a simple building block system easily and in good yields. The schematic diagram below is a simplified representation of a synthesis route for compounds of the invention. The letter k here identifies a compound of the invention: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] 5 M may be selected here, for example, from one of the following functional groups: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] where <semantics>R*<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">R^*< / annotation>< / semantics> is a <semantics>C1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_1< / annotation>< / semantics>-<semantics>C10<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">C_{10}< / annotation>< / semantics>-alkyl and where the Hal* group is a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I). The abbreviation Hal also represents a halogen selected from F, Cl, Br, I. Compound a is commercially available, or can be prepared from commercially available synthons by the person skilled in the art by means of known methods (halogenation, acetylation or carbonylation). The conversion to <semantics>𝒃<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\mathbf{b}< / annotation>< / semantics> can be effected, for example, by an aldol reaction or Wittig reaction or other typical reactions for the generation of a double bond from a carbonyl function. The direct preparation of b from non-halogenated (hetero-)aromatic components, for example by Heck reaction, is also possible. For preparation of compound c, this step can be repeated as often as desired. Compound d can be prepared, for example, by a Knoevenagel condensation with a compound bearing a methylene unit. In a series of cross-coupling reactions repeatable as often as desired, for example Suzuki, Negishi or Stille couplings and variants thereof, with subsequent introduction of a halogen atom (especially Cl, Br or I), the structural units <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> are incorporated into the structure of the compound. In this way, the intermediates e-j are obtained. Rather than the use of the metalated structural units <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, the use of non-metalated units <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, or of differently activated units <semantics>D1<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^3< / annotation>< / semantics>, is likewise conceivable. Compound a is commercially available, or can be prepared from commercially available synthons by methods known to those skilled in the art for acetylation or carbonylation. The conversion to <semantics>𝒃<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\mathbf{b}< / annotation>< / semantics> can be effected, for example, by aldol reaction or Wittig reaction or other typical syntheses for generation of a double bond from a carbonyl function. For preparation of compound <semantics>𝒄<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\mathbf{c}< / annotation>< / semantics>, this step can be repeated as often as desired. The direct preparation of b or c from an unsubstituted (hetero-)aromatic, for example by Heck reaction, or reaction with unsaturated dialkylamino-substituted carbonyls is also possible. The coupling of d` can be effected by metalation of compound c`. In this reaction, the carbonyl function can be intermediately protected. Compound e` can be prepared, for example, by Knoevenagel condensation with a compound bearing a methylene unit. By a typical cross-coupling reaction, for example Suzuki, Negishi or Stille coupling and the variants thereof, a component of the j type can be reacted with a component of the e` type to give the compounds of the <semantics>k<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">k< / annotation>< / semantics> type. In the presence of a mirror plane at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the molecule, the synthesis can be correspondingly simplified owing to the symmetric molecular structure. In principle, in all C-C coupling reactions, the reversal of the metal and halogen functionalities is conceivable, as is the use of different functional groups on either side, for example, but without limitation, sulfonates, triflates and carboxylic acids, or non- activated species called C-H-activated species. In general, but not exclusively, the C-C cross-coupling reactions are effected with use of a catalyst. Among other compounds, corresponding bromide compounds and stannyl compounds have been synthesized from their precursor molecules and then converted to compounds of the invention. Three different routes are to be illustrated by way of example hereinafter. Coupling by means of a a. double inverse Stille coupling, b. double Stille coupling or c. single Stille coupling. Also analogously suitable are further coupling reactions known from the literature, for example the Heck reaction or Kumada coupling. Suzuki, Negishi or Stille, Kumada or Hiyama and further coupling reactions are described, inter alia, in "Metal-Catalyzed Cross- Coupling Reactions, 2nd, Completely Revised and Enlarged Edition" (Wiley VCH, ISBN: 978-3-527-30518-6) (Suzuki: pages 41-123, Negishi: pages 619-670, Stille: pages 125-161, Kumada: pages 671-698, Hiyama: pages 163-216, further coupling reactions: pages 815-889). Detailed hereinafter are the corresponding general procedures (GP1 to GP3) for versions a, b and c: a) General procedure (GP1) 1 mmol of dibromo compound (reactant 1) and 2.5 mmol of <semantics>2−[(E)−3−(5−<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">2-[(E)-3-(5-< / annotation>< / semantics> trimethylstannanylfuran-2-yl)allylidene]malononitrile B4 (reactant 2) were dissolved in 4 mL of appropriate solvent (tab. 1) and the 5 solution was degassed. Then 0.05 mmol of Pd catalyst was added and the reaction mixture was heated overnight.

For instance, tin(IV) halides, in the case of reaction with organometallic compounds, such as Grignard reagents, react to give the corresponding 15 tin organyls. Organotin halides are usually obtained from tetraorganotin compounds by electrophilic substitution. The bromides can be prepared by many reactions known from the literature (for example with potassium bromate and hydrogen bromide); analogously, reaction by a method proceeding from the corresponding 20 trimethylsilyl compound with <semantics>N<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">N< / annotation>< / semantics>-bromosuccinimide is also conceivable. 5,7-Bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin (A1) [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Compound A1 was synthesized in accordance with J.

The optical properties were determined experimentally in each case. The absorption maximum <semantics>λmax<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">\lambda_{\text{max}}< / annotation>< / semantics> in nm was ascertained with a dilute solution in a cuvette (in dichloromethane unless stated otherwise) 10 with the aid of a photometer. The absorption maxima measured for all the compounds described are between 400 and 600 nm and thus overlap particularly advantageously with the energy maximum of the solar spectrum. Further optical properties such as the full width at half maximum 15 (FWHM) were determined directly on films of the organic compounds. For this purpose, by means of vacuum sublimation at <semantics>10−6<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">10^{-6}< / annotation>< / semantics> to <semantics>10−7<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">10^{-7}< / annotation>< / semantics> mbar, a film of thickness 30 nm of the respective compound of the invention was produced. The layer thickness was determined by means of a crystal oscillator monitor. 20 The compounds of the invention feature particularly high absorption in a broad spectrum of visible light, which is reflected in the high values achieved for the full width at half maximum. The compounds of the invention thus enable absorption of photons over a comparatively broad spectral range comprising a high proportion of short-wave visible sunlight and conversion thereof to electrical energy. The invention is to be elucidated further hereinafter with reference to a series of figures: Figure 1 compares normalized absorption spectra in electron-volts (measured on: 30 nm film, vapor-deposited under reduced pressure, as described above). What is shown is a comparison of compound 23 with two comparative materials. [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Compound 23 [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Comparative material 1 (Fitzner et al., Adv. Funct. Mat. 2011, 21, 897-910) [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Comparative material 2 (Mishra et al., Adv. Mat. 2014, 26, 7217-7223). The measurement compares the absorption plotted against the energy of the incident light in electron-volts. A particularly high full width at half maximum can be observed in the short-wave spectral region. Especially in the region of 2.5 eV and higher energies, i.e. for 500 nm or shorter wavelengths, compound 23 shows much higher absorption than the comparative materials. In general, the compounds of the invention, particularly in the range between 400 and 600 nm, show much better absorption properties. This makes it possible to generate photocurrents which utilize short-wave photons in a high proportion. These photons, by contrast, are frequently utilized only inadequately by conventional organic compounds. Figure 2 shows absorption spectra of inventive compounds 3, 5, 30, 31: [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] Compound 3 Compound 5 Compound 30 Compound 31. The absorption spectra were again obtained on films of the compounds having a thickness of 30 nm, which were produced and analyzed as specified above. The figure thus compares compounds of the invention which differ in the choice of structural units for the middle conjugated <semantics>D1−D3<annotation encoding="application / x-tex">D^1-D^3< / annotation>< / semantics> block. The spectrum shows the absorption plotted against the wavelength in nanometers. Astonishingly, all the specified compounds 3, 5, 30 and 31, in spite of the different kinds of middle conjugated blocks, show a very broad absorption spectrum with good absorption even in the region of short wavelengths. At the same time, through the utilization of different middle conjugated blocks, it is possible to achieve fine adjustments in the absorption spectrum. Figure 3 shows the absorption spectrum of compound 4 (measured on 30 nm film of compound 4; PL: photoluminescence). Figure 4 shows the current-voltage curves (j-V) that have been obtained using a photoactive organic electronic component in the form of an organic solar cell comprising compound 4. The measurement was conducted without a mask. 5 Measurements on photoactive organic electronic components were each conducted here and hereinafter (see figures 6 and 8) with what is called a BHJ cell. Each cell has a glass substrate to which a transparent top contact of ITO has been applied (ITO = indium tin oxide). The cell additionally in each case has a layer comprising buckminsterfullerene (C60) and a mixed layer of the respective compounds of the invention with C60, and also a p-doped hole transport layer. The reverse contact consists of a gold layer applied by vapor deposition. Figure 4 shows the current-voltage curve of compound 4 in a BHJ cell as just shown above. In the specific case, the BHJ cell has, atop the ITO layer, a layer of C60 having a thickness of about 15 nm. Compound 4 has been applied to this layer together with C60 with a thickness of 30 nm. This layer is in turn followed by a layer of BPAPF having a thickness of about 10 nm. Atop said layer there is a further layer 20 comprising BPAPF and NDP9 (commercially available p-dopant, Novaled AG) having a thickness of 30 nm. The proportion of BPAPF in this layer, based on the overall layer, is 90 percent by weight. This layer is followed by a further layer comprising NDP9 with a thickness of 1 nm, which is then followed by a gold layer with a thickness of 25 50 nm. The graph shows two current-voltage curves which differ in the thickness of the mixed layer of compound 4 and C60 (20 and 30 nm). The current-voltage curve also contains the most important indices that characterize the organic solar cell of the invention. The most 30 important indices here are the fill factor FF (quotient of maximum power of a solar cell at the point of maximum performance and the product of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current, the open- circuit voltage Uoc and the short-circuit current jsc). The current-voltage curves and the indices obtained demonstrate, using the example of compound 4, that the compounds of the invention are suitable for use in organic solar cells. Figure 5 shows the absorption spectrum of compound 5 (measured on 30 nm film of compound 5). Figure 6 shows two current-voltage curves of compound 5 (layer thickness of the mixed layer with C60 20 and 30 nm, made up in a mixing ratio of 3:2 and at a substrate temperature of 50°C), measured in a BHJ cell as already described in general terms above (in connection with figure 3). The specific layer sequence is as follows: ITO / C60 (15 nm) / compound 5:C60 (20 / 30 nm, 3:2) / BPAPF (10 nm) / BPAPF:NDP9 (30 nm, 10wt%) / NDP (1nm) Au (50 nm) Figure 7 shows the absorption spectrum of compound 24 (measured on 30 nm film of compound 24). Figure 8: the current-voltage curves of compound 24 measured in a BHJ cell as already described in general terms above (in connection with figure 3), layer thickness of the mixed layer of compound 24 with C60 respectively 20 and 30 nm, made up in a mixing ratio of 1:1 at substrate temperature 70°C. The specific layer sequence is as 20 follows: ITO / C60 (15 nm) / compound 24 (20 / 30 nm, 1:1) / BPAPF (5 nm) / BPAPF:NDP9 (45 nm, 10.1 wt%) / NDP9(1 nm) Au (50 nm). Both the absorption properties of the compounds examined in figures 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 and the current-voltage profiles measured in the organic solar cells in figures 4, 6 and 8 demonstrate that the compounds of the invention are suitable for use in organic solar cells and other photoactive organic electronic components and enable good efficiency.

More particularly, the highest full widths at half maximum under the given conditions were obtained for these compounds, as were the highest values for the OD integral. This indicates particularly good utilization of photons from the entire visible spectrum. Compound 23 differs from comparative material 5, as does compound 8 from comparative material 6, in that the compounds of the invention 15 each have outer five-membered rings having oxygen rather than sulfur. The better optical properties observed are thus attributable to the structural difference. Thus, for instance, a furan is more suitable as an outer five-membered ring than a thiophene ring. This fact is also apparent through the comparison of inventive compound 8 with 20 comparative material 7 known from the literature. These materials differ both by different acceptor units and by the exchange of thiophene for furan, but only compound 8 simultaneously has a strong and broad absorption, which results in a significantly higher absorption integral, whereas, in the case of comparative material 6 containing thiophene rings only but simultaneously containing an open-chain acceptor group, the absorption integral is only slightly higher. Thus, the effect can again be attributed to the advantageous presence of furan rings. The inventors of the present invention have additionally found that said effect additionally requires an electron-withdrawing group on said five-membered ring having at least two C=C double bonds. This is apparent, for example, from the comparison of comparative material 3 and comparative material 4. Even though the latter has furan rings as five-membered rings, it does not exhibit improved optical properties. This is attributable to the fact that, in comparative material 4, there is only one acceptor group present on the furan ring with a single C=C double bond in conjunction with the furan unit. By contrast, the improved absorption properties require the combined presence of a structural unit [Image disponible dans le document PDF, Image available in the PDF document] with an electron-withdrawing group A2 that always has at least two C=C double bonds.
