A new conjugated copolymer (PTST-DyOXD) derived from 1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-bis(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-silole (TST) and 2,5-bis(4-ethynylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (DyOXD) was synthesized by Pd(0)-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction. For comparison, another copolymer without acetenyl group (PTST-OXD) was also synthesized by Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. Chemical structures and optoelectronic properties of the copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence and cyclic voltammetry. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) is 4010 Da for PTST-DyOXD and 3890 Da for PTST-OXD, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements show that they have good thermal stability with decomposition temperature at 312 and 318 degrees C, respectively. The optical band gap is 2.21 eV for PTST-DyOXD and 2.10 eV for PTST-OXD based on the absorption onset. CV analysis revealed the LUMO level of PTST-DyOXD is -3.04 eV, lower than that of PTST-OXD (about -2.89 eV), which is attributed to the introduction of acetylene group in PTST-DyOXD, increasing the system of the conjugate chain length.
