Abstract

A new donor–acceptor (D–A) conjugated polymer (PDTOF) containing 3, 4- didodecyloxythiophene, fluorene and 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole units is synthesized by using Wittig reaction methodology. The synthesized polymer is characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, GPC, and elemental analysis. The optical energy band gap of the polymer is found to be 2.42 eV as calculated from the onset absorption edge. The electrochemical studies of PDTOF ...
