Abstract
ABSTRACTThree donor–acceptor copolymers P1, P2, and P3 with N,N′‐dodecylpyromellitic diimide as the electron‐acceptor unit with three diethynyl‐substituted donor monomers: 1,4‐diethynyl‐2,5‐bis(octyloxy)benzene, 2,7‐diethynyl‐9,9‐dioctyl‐9H‐fluorene, and 3,3′‐didodecyl‐5,5′‐diethynyl‐2,2′‐bithiophene have been synthesized by Sonogashira crosscoupling polymerization. The synthesized polymers showed deep highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels and larger band gaps (>2.5 eV). Polymers P1, P2, and P3 underwent fluorescence quenching with [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), indicating the intermolecular photo‐induced charge transfer between the donor polymers and the PCBM acceptor. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
