The synthesis and the characterization of defect-free alkoxy-substituted yne-containing poly(phenylene-vinylenes) was investigated. It was found that a degree of 7 was obtained for all the polymers enabling a reliable comparison of their properties as a function of the length and geometry of the grafted side chains. A formation of crystalline superstructures of either spherulitic-like or rodlike morphology was identified as following typical nucleation and growth process for polymer having a symmetric substitution pattern. Results show that the high absorption coefficients and high quantum yields in the solid state combined with enhanced oxidation stability made polymers as potential donor materials in the design of organic solar cells.
