NOVELTY - An organic photosensitive optoelectronic device comprises at least one boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivative (I).    USE - The organic photosensitive optoelectronic device, preferably organic solar cell is useful for converting electromagnetic radiation into electricity.    ADVANTAGE - The organic photosensitive optoelectronic device is highly improved and has a higher order compound.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An organic photosensitive optoelectronic device comprises at least one boron-dipyrromethene derivative (BODIPY) of formula (I).    R1=an optionally substituted monocyclic group, an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group, and an optionally substituted meso-linked BODIPY, or R1 and R2 and R7 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a substituted BODIPY, where R1 is meso-linked and R2 and R7 are beta-linked;    R2=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R2 and R3 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group, or R2 and R1 and R7 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a substituted BODIPY;    R3=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R3 and R2 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group, or R3 and R4 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group;    R4=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R4 and R3 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group;    R5=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R5 and R6 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group;    R6=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R6 and R5 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group, or R6 and R7 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group; and    R7=H, an alkyl group, and a CN group, or R7 and R6 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a group chosen from an optionally substituted monocyclic group and an optionally substituted 6-24C multicyclic group, or R7 and R1 and R2 taken together with any intervening atoms comprise a substituted BODIPY; and where the optionally substituted monocyclic and multicyclic groups are chosen from aryl and heteroaryl groups.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of making the organic photosensitive optoelectronic device, which involves depositing a photoactive region over a substrate, where the photoactive region comprises BODIPY derivative (I).
