We note that a HOMO level around −5.2 eV and a band gap of roughly 1.5 eV are very encouraging characteristics for an OPV donor material designed to be used with fullerene acceptors due to a sufficient LUMO LUMO offset and a good spectral overlap with the solar flux.
California is the only one of those that has yet to hammer out a budget, as legislators wrangle over how to close a budget gap of roughly $15 billion.
But costs the department cannot control, including those for pensions and special education services, continue to rise rapidly, leaving a budget gap of roughly $400 million.
Before construction has even begun, the Garden Bridge Trust has somehow burned through more than half of the £60m of public funds earmarked for the project, and it still has a funding gap of roughly £32m.
They have a budget gap of roughly $5 billion to close next year, and any cuts in the city's $42 billion budget must come out of about $15 billion that the mayor has discretion over.
The city closed a budget gap of roughly $5 billion for the year that began on July 1 with relatively little in the way of new taxes: there was a steep increase in the cigarette tax, and some higher telephone taxes, but most of the yawning deficit was closed with a heavy dose of borrowing, budget cuts, and state and federal aid.
Through our synthetic design rationale, the planar and fused BTT moiety was employed as an electron-rich co-monomer in conjunction with the electron-deficient BTI unit to create a highly absorptive π-conjugated polymer with an ideal band gap of roughly 1.5 eV and optimum frontier energy levels allowing for efficient charge transfer to a fullerene and a high open circuit voltage.
When Brown took office, the state faced a $26.6 billion budget deficit and estimated annual gaps of roughly $20 billion, as the state reeled from the great global recession and the defeat of an unpopular temporary tax program.
But the new budget does little to address the budget gaps of roughly $4 billion projected in the following two years that Mayor-elect Michael R. Bloomberg will face.
