Abstract

We report a straightforward synthetic method to generate solution processable electron transporting polymers with low band gap and wide absorption range from readily available acceptor monomers. We show the efficacy of this approach using widely used electron acceptor 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole. The polymers have absorption up to 750 nm with electron mobility comparable to PCBM.
