The backbone composition of conjugated copolymers is of great importance in determining the conjugated structure and intermolecular assembly and in manipulating their optical, electrochemical, and electronic properties. However, limited attention has been directed at controlling the backbone composition of donor–acceptor (D–A) type low bandgap polymers. Herein, we developed a series of D–A random copolymers (P(BDTT-r-DPP)) composed of different compositions of electron-rich (D) thienyl-substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDTT) and electron-deficient (A) pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DPP). The optical and electrical properties of D–A random copolymers could be controlled by tuning the ratios of BDTT to DPP (4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4) in the polymer backbone; an increase in BDTT resulted in increased absorption in the range of 400–600 nm and a lower-lying highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, while a higher proportion of DPP induced stronger absorption in the range of 700–900 nm.
