Abstract

Abstract We describe the synthesis of alternating bithiophene–fluorene copolymers (P1–P3) with different regiochemistry of the bithienyl unit and different alkylsulfanyl chain lengths. The structural, electrochemical and photophysical properties of these polymers were investigated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), NMR, UV/Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry ( ...
