Popis: A series of two-dimensional donor–acceptor–donor (D1–A(D2)) type of conducting polymers (CPs) all with electroactive bulky side chain structure has been designed, synthesized, and investigated by introducing the donor–acceptor (D1–A) thiophene–quinoxaline moiety in the main chain alongside and additional donor and hole transporting units in the side chain. All the UV-vis spectra of the 2D polymers, PTPQT, PFPQT, and PCPQT, each with triphenylamine, fluorene, and carbazole units as the D2 side chain, possess strong intramolecular charge transfer absorption, thus resulting in better light harvesting. Their optical and electronic properties were thoroughly explored experimentally and computationally. The effect of molecular weight of the narrow polydispersity polymers on their optoelectronic property was studied in detail. In summary, the 2-D CPs show potential for use as an active material in optoelectronic devices. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2014, 52, 1217–1227
