Distannylated dithiazologermole and germaindacenodithiazole were copolymerized with dibrominated 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 4,7-di(thiazol-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole to produce four new donor-acceptor conjugated copolymers. The optical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of the copolymers were characterized, and intramolecular charge transfer was evaluated on the basis of solvatochromic behavior in the photoluminescence spectra. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that these thiazole-containing copolymers exhibited lower HOMO and LUMO energy levels than those of thiophene-based congeners, and this finding agreed with the experimental results. The intramolecular noncovalent S‒N and N‒H bond interactions and the effects of the bridging atom (C or Ge) on the HOMO and LUMO energy levels were also suggested by the DFT calculations.
