Abstract

Novel polydiacetylenes (PDAs) bearing alkyl and phenyl substituents have been synthesized, for the first time, by solution polymerization using acyclic enediyne metathesis. The resulting polymers are soluble in common organic solvents and show distinct physical and photophysical properties both in solution and as thin films, caused by different steric and electronic effects from the side-groups. Bulk heterojunction solar cells employing these PDAs have been fabricated and evaluated.
