## Abstract Narrow‐band‐gap 2,5‐thienylene‐divinylene (ThV) units were incorporated into the poly(fluorene vinylene) backbone via a Gilch reaction as an energy trap with various feed ratios; this yielded pronounced changes in the electrochemical and optical properties of the material. The energy le

Abstract
Four new conjugated alternating vinylene‐copolymers, PAP6, PAT, PA, and TAT, incorporating anthracene rings along the backbone were synthesized by Heck coupling. They were very soluble in common organic solvents and absorbed at the range of 300–500 nm with optical band gaps of 2.38–2.47 eV. They behaved in solution as green emitters, with maximum photoluminescence at 455–518 nm. Finally, these soluble copolymers were used as donor material to realize bulk heterojunction solar cell with (6,6)‐C~61~‐butyric acid methyl ester as the acceptor. More efficient photovoltaic cells were obtained from the copolymer that carried hexyloxy than dodecyloxy side groups. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
