Abstract: Photophysical and photovoltaic properties of a series of anthracene-containing and ethylene-3,4-dioxythiophene (EDOT)-containing poly(p-phenylene-ethynylene)-alt-poly(p-phenylene-vinylene)s (PPE-PPV) copolymers with general constitutional units (Ph-C-tC-Anthr-C-tC-Ph-CH-dCH-Ph-CH-dCH-) n and (Ph-C-tC-EDOT-C-tC-Ph-CH-dCH-Ph-CH-dCH-) n have been studied. Mixed linear and branched alkoxy side chains were grafted to the backbone in order to tune the π-π-stacking ability of the materials, which significantly affects their photovoltaic response when used as donor components in a bulk heterojunction construct together with PCBM as acceptor.
