Four alternating copolymers of carbazole (Cz) and triphenylamine (TPA) with thienylenevinylene (TV) conjugated side chain containing different acceptor end groups of aldehyde (PCzTPATVCHO), monocyano (PCzTPA-TVCN) dicyano (PCzTPA-TVDCN), and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid (PCzTPA-TVDT), have been designed and synthesized. The structures and properties of the main chain donor-side chain acceptor D-A copolymers were fully characterized. Through changing the acceptor group attached to the TV conjugated side chain on TPA, the electronic properties and energy levels of the copolymers were effectively tuned. The effect of substituent on the electronic structures of the copolymers was also studied by molecular simulation. These results indicate that it is a simple and effective approach to tune the bandgap in a conjugated polymer by attaching an acceptor end group on the conjugated side chains. PCzTPA-TVCN, PCzTPA-TVDCN, and PCzTPA-TVDT were used as donor in polymer solar cells; the device based on PCzTPA-TVDT/PC70BMdemonstrates a power conversion efficiency of 2.76% withVoc of 0.87 V under the illumination of AM1.5G, 100 mW/cm2.

Based on a “TADF + Linker” strategy (TADF=thermally activated delayed fluorescence), demonstrated here is the successful construction of conjugated polymers that allow highly efficient delayed fluorescence. Small molecular TADF blocks are linked together

A series of carbazole-based polyazomethines have been synthesized under micro-wave irradiation and without transition-metal based catalyst. The impact of both the catenation brought by the carbazole subunits and the insertion of a co-monomer, i.e. 3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT), on the optical and electrochemical properties have been studied. Among the different polyazomethines synthesized, the best in terms of optical and electrochemical properties has been found to be the one with the azomethine function linked in positions 2,7 of carbazole subunits. Upon the insertion of the EDOT comonomer, an increase of the molecular weight and a red-shift in the absorption spectra has been observed, corresponding to a diminution of the electronic gap.

A series of four π-conjugated carbazole-alt-benzothiadiazole copolymers (PCBT) were prepared by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between synthesized dibromocarbazoles as electron-rich subunits and 4,7-bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole as electron-deficient subunits. The subunits were directly linked through 2,7- or 3,6- positions of the carbazole. In addition, the carbazole monomers have been N-substituted by a branched or a linear side-chain. The chemical structure of the copolymers and their precursors was confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopies, and their molar masses were estimated by SEC. Thermal analysis under N2 atmosphere showed no weight loss below 329°C, and no glass transition was observed in between 0 and 250°C. The band gaps of all PCBTs evaluated by optical spectroscopies and by cyclic voltammetry analysis were consistent with expectations and ranged between 2.2 and 2.3 eV. Finally, 2,7 and 3,6 linkages were shown to influence optical properties of PCBTs.
