Abstract organic solar cells, four new acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type novel chromophores (Y1-Y4) have been designed with subphthalocyanine (SubPc) as a common donor and different benzene bridged end-capped 2-methylenemalononitrile (A1), 6-methylene-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazinan-4-one (A2), 2-(2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1Hinden- 1ylidene) malononitrile (A3) and 5-methylene-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (A4) acceptor groups. Photovoltaic and quantum chemical parameters of Y1-Y4 were computed through DFT and TD-SCF using selected B3LYP hybrid functional. Next, the parameters affecting chemical reactivity, opto-electronic properties, charge mobility and exciton dynamics of Y1-Y4 were characterized through calculations of frontier molecular orbitals, absorption profiles, density of states (DOS) and transition density matrix (TDM) respectively. The results imply that the designed candidates (Y1-Y4) proved more proficient in executing the afore-said parameters compared to R (reference). Amongst all, Y3
