Abstract
The overall efficiency of organic photovoltaic devices has made impressive progress in recent years, but often active materials now require complex, multi-step synthesis, potentially limiting their application. We report approaches to prepare building blocks in just one or two steps, allowing the preparation of conjugated polymers of low synthetic complexity which can be readily upscaled. I will highlight how this approach can be used to readily build libraries of conjugated polymers to more rapidly identify promising materials for application in OPV and OECT devices. Finally approaches to introduce additional functionality via post-polymerisation backbone modification will be discussed.
