Here, the synthesis, characterization, and photovoltaic properties of four new donor–acceptor copolymers are reported. These copolymers are based on 4,4‐difluoro‐cyclopenta[2,1‐b:3,4‐b′] dithiophene as an acceptor unit and various donor moieties: 4,4‐dialkyl derivatives of 4H‐cyclopenta[2,1‐b:3,4‐b′]dithiophene and its silicon analog, dithieno[3,2‐b:2′,3′‐d]‐silol. These copolymers have an almost identical bandgap of 1.7 eV and have a HOMO energy level that varies from −5.34 to −5.73 eV. DSC and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) investigations reveal that linear octyl substituents promote the formation of ordered layered structures, while branched 2‐ethylhexyl substituents lead to amorphous materials. Polymer solar cells based on these copolymers as donor and PC61BM as acceptor components yield a power conversion efficiency of 2.4%. image
