Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) is attractive for building conjugated polymers for polymer solar cell (PSC) and organic field effect transistor (OFET). Yet the usual access to DPP conjugated polymers is via donor-acceptor (D-A) two-component polymerization. However, the number of excellent polymers based on the D-A combination is still limited, which promotes researchers to explore new strategy for preparation of novel conjugated polymers and to understand their structure-property relationship. In this work, a DPP-based polymer P1 was first obtained with co-polymerization of DPP (A) and alkoxyl benzene (D). Further, two novel polymers ( P2 and P3 ) were developed via introducing a third electron-deficient monomer X (difluoro-benzothiadiazole or naphthalene diimide) in the polymerization process. P1 - P3 polymers (molecular weight:3.83×10⁴, 5.30×10⁴ and 6.56×10⁴) showed good solubility in common organic solvents. Due to the hybridization of the molecular orbitals between their three components (D, A and X), P2 and P3 showed narrower bandgaps (1.26 and 1.27 eV) than P1 , and their absorption thus red-shifted up to 1000 nm in comparison to that of D-A polymer P1 (bandgap of 1.50 eV). The introduction of electron-deficient monomers also deepened the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) levels of P2 and P3 to -5.28 and -5.33 eV, which was beneficial to a larger open circuit voltage (V_OC) in PSCs. Moreover, the introduction of the third monomer X altered the film properties of the polymers. It showed that P1 with preference of face-on orientation exhibited a good power conversion efficiency (PCE) in PSCs, while P2 demonstrated an improved hole mobility in OFET due to the preferable edge-on orientation. When blended with [6, 6]-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM), P1 showed a PCE of 2.56%, with a V_OC of 0.68 V, a short circuit current density (J_SC) of 5.71 mA cm^-2 and a fill factor (FF) of 0.66, while P2 gave a lower PCE of 1.79%, with a V_OC of 0.71 V, a J_SC of 3.91 mA cm^-2 and a FF of 0.65. This work provides references for the design of novel conjugated polymers for PSCs and OFETs.
