Two new fused quinoxaline-containing monomers—2,3-bis(9-(2-decyltetradecyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl)dithieno[3,2-f:2'3'-h]quinoxaline (М1) and 2,5-di(nonadecan-3-yl)bis[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-a:5',4'-c]bisthieno[3,2-h:2',3'-j]phenazine (М2)—have been synthesized in high yields of 88 and 83% as promising building blocks of D-A polymers for photovoltaic applications. The optical bandgaps, found from the absorption edge, are 2.79 and 2.88 eV, respectively. The HOMO/LUMO energies of М1 and М2 are–5.83/–2.96 and–5.83/–2.98 eV, respectively. Both monomers have low-lying HOMO levels, which is favorable for a high open-circuit voltage and a high stability in air in the development of PSCs. The Egec values of monomers М1 and М2 are 2.87 and 2.85 eV and are consistent well with the optical bandgap (2.79 and 2.88 eV, respectively).
