Abstract
AbstractA series of donor‐acceptor copolymers with dicyclopenta[cd,jk]pyrene and dicyclopenta[cd,lm]perylene acceptor units was prepared via palladium catalyzed cyclopenta‐annulation reactions. The acceptor units were paired with diethynyl containing donor groups based on benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b’]dithiophene, thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene, and 4‐octyl‐4H‐dithieno[3,2‐b:2′,3′‐d]pyrrole to create six polymer variants. The cyclopentannulation polymerization resulted in copolymers with molecular weights (Mn) of 6–14 kDa and broad light absorption in the visible region with band gaps of 1.38–1.85 eV. The synthetic methodology, as well as optoelectronic properties, including thin‐film absorption and cyclic voltammetry, of the donor‐acceptor copolymers are presented.
