COPOLYMER SEMICONDUCTORS COMPRISING THIAZOLOTHIAZOLE OR BENZOBISTHIAZOLE, OR BENZOBISOXAZOLE ELECTRON ACCEPTOR SUBUNITS, AND ELECTRON DONOR SUBUNITS, AND THEIR USES IN TRANSISTORS AND SOLAR CELLS

摘要

The inventions disclosed, described, and/or claimed herein relate to copolymers comprising copolymers comprising electron accepting A subunits that comprise thiazolothiazole, benzobisthiazole, or benzobisoxazoles rings, and electron donating subunits that comprise certain heterocyclic groups. The copolymers are useful for manufacturing organic electronic devices, including transistors and solar cells. The invention also relates to certain synthetic precursors of the copolymers. Methods for making the copolymers and the derivative electronic devices are also described.
