Abstract To enhance the charge transfer properties in organic materials, four π-conjugated donor compounds, namely DR3TBDTC-M1, DR3TBDTC-M2, DR3TBDTC-M3, and DR3TBDTC-M4 are formulated and studied. The central core of the molecules is composed of benzodithiophene acridine connected with the terminal groups using three thiophene rings as a spacer. The optoelectronic analysis has indicated that from all the donors DR3TBDTC-M3 is better which has a greater λmax value of 505.4 nm than the reference molecule (DR3TBDTC) having a λmax value of 463.4 nm. Examination of the frontier molecular orbitals, the binding energy, transition density matrix, the reorganization energy, and open-circuit voltage are implemented that offered the fundamental knowledge on the transmission of charges and electronic excitation. With a small band gap (Eg = 3.97 eV), the DR3TBDTC-M3 compound excellently transfers its electron density from the HOMO to LUMO. In the reported compounds, the λe value of DR3TBDTC-M1 (0.01358 eV)
