The application of dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrroles (DTPs) in conjugated organic polymers has resulted in a variety of materials with reduced and low band gaps that exhibit high carrier mobilities, as well as enhanced solution and solid-state fluorescence. While DTP-based materials date back to the early 1990s, significant advances in the preparation and scope of these materials have been reported over the past decade. In this current report, we provide the first full review of DTP-based materials, highlighting in particular the recent advances made in the synthesis of both monomeric DTPs and their resulting materials, as well as the current progress of their application to various devices, including FETs, OPVs, OLEDs, and electrochromics.
