We report the properties of a new series of wide band gap photovoltaic polymers based on the <i>N</i>-alkyl 2-pyridone dithiophene (<b>PDT</b>) unit. These polymers are effective bulk heterojunction solar cell materials when blended with phenyl-C<sub>71</sub>-butyric acid methyl ester (PC<sub>71</sub>BM). They achieve power conversion efficiencies (up to 5.33%) high for polymers having such large bandgaps, <i>ca.</i> 2.0 eV (optical) and 2.5 eV (electrochemical). Grazing incidence wide-angle X-r ...[more]
