Abstract

Semiconducting organic polymers are most often synthesized by linking an electron poor and an electron rich (hetero)aromatic building block via a transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling copolymerization. Researchers aiming at exploring applications and fundamental performance limits, for example for organic photovoltaics, organic photodetectors, and organic electrochemical transistors, often assume that the obtained material consists strictly of a perfect repetition of the depicted polymeric repeating unit, whereas this is likely not the case. In this contribution, we demonstrate a synthesis approach to obtain the depicted “perfect” structure of these types of polymers and the influence of material defects on the optoelectronic properties and device performance.
