New donor-acceptor conjugated copolymers based on alkylthienylbenzodithiophene (BDTT) and alkoxynaphthodithiophene (NDT) have been synthesized and compared with their benzo[1,2-b :4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT)-based analogues to investigate the effect of the extended π conjugation of the polymer main chain on the physicochemical properties of the polymers. A systematic investigation into the optical properties, energy levels, field-effect transistor characteristics, and photovoltaic characteristics of these polymers was conducted. Both polymers demonstrated enhanced photovoltaic performance and increased hole mobility compared with the BDT-based analogue. However, the BDTT-based polymer (with π-conjugation extension perpendicular to main chain) gave the highest power conversion efficiency of 5.07% for the single-junction polymer solar cell, whereas the NDT-based polymer (with π-conjugation extension along the main chain) achieved the highest hole mobility of approximately 0.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 based on the field-effect transistor; this indicated that extending the π conjugation in different orientations would have a significant influence on the properties of the resulting polymers.

Nineteen neutral nickel bisdiphenylethenedithiolene complexes [Ni(dpedt)2], including seventeen new compounds, were synthesized and characterized by a new short, efficient and multigram-scale synthetic method. Preliminary physical investigations show that these complexes are electron-withdrawing materials exhibiting good thermal stability and high molecular absorption coefficient in the near-infrared spectral region. Electrochemical and optical properties of [Ni(dpedt)2] depend strongly on the nickel bis(1,2-dithiolene) core and very slightly on the alkyl chain lengths or configurations. These highly soluble coordination compounds are potential candidates as acceptor solution-processable materials for active layers in organic electronic devices, such as field effect transistors or photovoltaic devices.
