Two novel copolymers based on benzothiadizole-thiophene-phenylenevinylene have been synthesized through palladium catalyzed triple-bond polycondensation method.The copolymers exhibit good solubility in common organic solvents such as CHCl_3,CH_2Cl_2 and THF.The structures and properties of the two copolymers are characterized by FT-IR, ~1H-NMR,UV-Vis absorbance(Abs),gel permeation chromatography(GPC),thermal gravimetric analysis and cyclic voltammetry(CV).The copolymers of P_1 and P_2 show absorption spectra with maximum peak at 532 nm and 573 nm in solution,respectively.Compare to their monomers M_1 and M_2,the absorption peaks of P_1 and P_2 were red-shifted by 34 nm and 54 nm respectively.Thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrated that the polymers were stable and little weight loss was observed below 300℃.Cyclic voltammetry experiments showed that the band gaps of the copolymers were 1.81 eV and 1.62 eV,respectively,suggesting their potential for applications as organic solar cell materials.
