Abstract

The position at which conjugated side chains were fluorinated, the meta- or ortho-position in phenyl side chains, was varied to investigate the positional effects of fluorination on the energy levels, crystalline ordering, and photovoltaic properties of the polymers. The fluorine in the ortho-position achieved a lower HOMO energy level than that in the meta-position, but reduced the chain rigidity.
