Two near-infrared (NIR) absorbing metallopolyynes of platinum (P1 and P2) functionalized with a weakly electron-donating fluorene unit and two strong electron acceptors (viz. benzo[1,2-c: 4,5-c'] bis([1,2,5] thiadiazole) and [1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-i] dibenzo[a, c] phenazine) were synthesized and applied for NIR photovoltaic applications. With these designed weak donor-strong acceptor electronic traits, these metallopolymers possess narrow bandgaps of 1.54 and 1.65 eV and a low HOMO level of about 5.50 eV, thus inducing a power conversion efficiency up to 1% for bulk heterojunction solar cells at the NIR wavelength.
