Abstract In this paper, four small molecules B1, B2, B3 and B4 based on donor–acceptor–donor–acceptor– donor (D-A-D-A-D) combination were designed by making structural modifications in R. The designed molecules contain 5,10-dihydro-indolo [3,2-b] indole central donor core and different benzo-thiadiazole and fluorine substituted benzothiadiazole (FBT) acceptor units. These molecules have different subunits introduced on 5,10- dihydroindolo [3,2-b] indole central core like benzo [1,2,5] thiadiazole in (B1), 5-Fluoro-benzo [1,2,5] thiadiazole in (B2), 5-Methyl-benzo [1,2,5] thiadiazole in (B3), 2-Fluoro-2-methyl-2-H-benzotriazole unit in (B4), flanked with [2,2’,5’,2”] terthiophene as spacer (S) and triphenyl amine as a common end-capped donor in all the molecules (B1–B4). The optoelectronic properties of these molecules were studied by performing density functional theory (DFT) at CAM-B3LYP. Among all the designed structures, B2 showed maximum absorption (457 nm) due to its strong electron withdr
