✦ Synopsis
Abstract
New aromatic compounds with a pyridazine core have been synthesized. Four electron‐withdrawing monomers have been easily prepared from simple condensation reactions and ring closure procedures. Optimized HOMO, LUMO, and bandgap energy levels have been obtained. The resulting conjugated polymers have been tested in organic solar cells. First studies have revealed power conversion efficiencies up to 0.5% for an active area of 1.0 cm^2^.

## Abstract A series of anthracene‐based conjugated copolymers containing 9,10‐bis(6‐bromonaphthalen‐2‐yl)‐2‐__tert__‐butylanthracene (BNA) and 2,7‐diphenyl substituted fluorene (DPPF) moieties are prepared via a palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki polymerization. All of the synthesized polymers emit blue l
## Abstract A new class of low‐bandgap copolymers based on benzodithiophene (BDT) and thieno[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐4,6‐dione (TPD) units is reported. Chemical modifications of the conjugated backbone promote both high molecular weights and processability while allowing for tuning of the electronic properti
