Abstract
The synthesis of a novel fused hexacyclic electron rich monomer incorporating thieno[3,2โb]thiophene is reported and characterized by single crystal Xโray diffraction. Suzuki coโpolymerization with benzothiadiazole (BT) afforded a novel low bandโgap polymer P4TBT with high molecular weights and good solution processability. Bulk heterojunction solar cell devices using the P4TBT and [70]PCBM gave power conversion efficiencies of 2.5%. Topโgate, bottomโcontact field effect transistors (FETs) using P4TBT displayed high hole mobilities of 0.07โcm^2^โยทโVs^โ1^ demonstrating the suitability of the novel monomer and polymer for use in high performing organic electronic devices.magnified image
