(3‐(2‐Benzotriazolovinyl)thiophene (BVT) containing an electron‐transporting moiety was polymerized through FeCl3
oxidation. In addition, BVT was copolymerized with different functional groups: 3‐octylthiophene (OT) containing alkyl groups for improving the solubility in common organic solvents; N‐octylcarbazolylene (OcCz) containing hole‐transporting groups for improving the optical property; and the alkyl groups for improving the solubility.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
