Abstract

The present specification provides a di-polycyclic compound, and a polymer chain consisting of alternating electron donor compounds and electron acceptor compounds, which include the di-polycyclic compound.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compound comprising:
a di-polycyclic compound of the formula:

wherein both X 1 and X 4 are either halogens or electron donor groups; M 1 , M 2 , M 3 , M 4 , M 5 , X 2 , X 3 , M 6 , M 1 , M 7 , M 8 , M 9 , and M 10 are atoms, wherein Z 1 and Z 2 are both nitrogen, wherein at least one additional atom is bound to each nitrogen, and wherein the at least one additional atom is selected from the group consisting of: arsenic, antimony, bismuth, silicon, tin, germanium, boron, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, and wherein Y 1 and Y 2 are each O.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein at least one of X 2 and X 3 denotes a chemical element selected from the group consisting of: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, silicon, tin, germanium, boron, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein at least one of M 1 , M 3 , M 4 , M 7 , M 8 , and M 10 denotes a carbon atom bound to one or both of (i) a constituent that includes at least one chemical element selected from the group consisting of: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, silicon, tin, germanium, boron, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, and (ii) an electron donor compound.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 1 and X 4 respectively are different halogens selected from the group consisting of: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 1 and X 4 are a same type of halogen.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 2 and X 3 respectively include at least one chemical element selected from the group consisting of: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, silicon, tin, germanium, boron, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 2 and X 3 are a same type of halogen.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein both X 1 and X 4 are bromine.

9. The compound of claim 1 , wherein both X 2 and X 3 are iodine.

10. The compound of claim 1 , wherein at least one of:
(I) (a) M 1 , M 2 , M 3 , and M 4 , comprise a first aromatic ring, (b) M 7 , M 8 , M 9 , and M 10 comprise a second aromatic ring, and (c) M 5 and M 6 respectively denote carbon atoms with (i) a pi bond to a first carbon atom, and (ii) a single bond to a second carbon;
(II) X 2 and X 3 denote one or both of: (a) different substituent groups that differ based on one or more of elemental composition, bonding, and arrangement of atoms, and (b) denote at least one atom that is part of a cyclic-chain of atoms connecting M 5 and M 6 ;
(III) Z 1 and Z 2 respectively denote at least one atom in a ring structure;
(IV) Y 1 and Y 2 respectively denote substituent groups each comprising at least one atom; and
(V) wherein M 2 and M 9 denote one or more atoms that respectively comprise a binding site for one of X 1 and X 4 .
