A polymer having a monomer repeat unit comprising wherein Ar is an aryl group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polymer having a monomer repeat unit comprising: wherein Ar is an aryl group, a substituted aryl group or a fused aryl group. 2. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein Ar is and R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group and combinations thereof. 3. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein Ar is and R2 is independently selected from an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group and combinations thereof. 4. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein Ar is and R3 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group and combinations thereof. 5. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein Ar is and R1 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group and combinations thereof. 6. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the Ar is and X is selected from the group consisting of C, Si, Ge and combinations thereof. 7. The polymer of claim 6 , wherein R4 is independently selected from an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group and combinations thereof. 8. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is regio-regular. 9. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is regio-random. 10. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is used as photovoltaic polymer in one or more photovoltaic devices. 11. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is used as active layer material in one or more electronic devices. 12. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is a conjugated polymer. 13. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein n ranges from 2 to 100.
