Abstract

The design of conjugated polymers with advanced properties is a significant task for the development of organic electronics. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the methods of their synthesis, excluding toxic and expensive reagents, following the trends in sustainability. In this study, six thiazolothiazole-based conjugated polymers with thiophene, fluorene, phenylene, and benzodithiophene moieties were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. All materials were obtained through a non-catalyzed condensation reaction of carbonyl derivatives with rubeanic acid under ambient conditions. It is shown that the optoelectronic and electrophysical properties of polymers are suitable for their application in organic or hybrid electronic devices. The certain polymers are found to be promising hole-transport interlayer materials in perovskite solar cells, thus featuring the great potential of proposed methods of development of organic semiconductors.
