Abstract

The aim of this work is to develop some new polymer materials with typical n-type semiconducting properties and low reduction peak potentials. Therefore new synthetic routes are presented leading to organo-soluble polyquinolines and polyquinoxalines. The results of the synthesis and characterization of the obtained new organo-soluble polymers are shown. The electrochemical reduction and oxidation behavior of these polymers is studied by cyclovoltammetric measurements. All studied polymers can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. In addition the absorption and luminescence properties are investigated. Polymer/polymer solar cells are prepared from blends of the new polyquinoxalines and poly-[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenvinylen] as active single layer. First results are discussed.
