Synthesis and photovoltaic behaviors of narrow-band-gap π-conjugated polymers composed of dialkoxybenzodithiophene- and thiophene-based fused aromatic rings
π‐Conjugated polymers, PBDT‐CNETT and PBDT‐CNECPDT, were prepared by the Stille cross‐coupling polymerization. Optical and thermal properties of the obtained polymers were investigated by UV–vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. PBDT‐CNETT and PBDT‐CNECPDT exhibited very narrow band gaps of 1.39 and 1.13 eV, respectively. Highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels estimated by surface
