Abstract

Four novel π-conjugated copolymers incorporating 4, 4-difluoro-4-borata-3a-azonia-4a-aza- s-indacene (BODIPY) core as the “donor” and quinoxaline (Qx), 2, 1, 3-benzothiadiazole (BzT), N, N′-di (2′-ethyl) hexyl-3, 4, 7, 8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (NDI), and N, N′-di (2′-ethyl) hexyl-3, 4, 9, 10-perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) as acceptors were designed and synthesized via Sonogashira polymerization. The polymers were ...
