Abstract

Two novel n‐type conjugated polymers based on perylene diimide (PDI), poly(PDI‐vinylene) (PDIV), and poly(PDI‐thienylene) (PDITh), have been designed and synthesized by the Stille coupling reaction. In comparison with the PDI monomer (compound M1), PDIV and PDITh films show a significantly broad absorption band from 380 to 720 nm, and a narrower bandgap of ≈1.71 and 1.74 eV, respectively. Cyclic voltammograms of the two polymers display a couple of reversible reduction/re‐oxidation (n‐doping/dedoping) peaks. The onset reduction (n‐doping) potentials of PDIV and PDITh are at −0.62 V and −0.66 V versus Ag/Ag^+^ respectively, which correspond to the electron affinities (EAs) of 4.09 eV for PDIV and 4.05 eV for PDITh. The EA values of the two polymers are the highest among the n‐type conjugated polymers reported to date. The results indicate that PDIV and PDITh could be used as polymer acceptors in all polymer solar cells.
