Conjugated donor鈥揳cceptor copolymers comprised of electron-deficient 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (NDI) linked to a series of relatively electron-rich aromatics via ethynyl spacers were synthesized and characterized. While LUMO levels remained constant at 鈭?.75 eV, HOMO levels were sensitive to the relatively electron-rich aromatic donors and systematically tuned from 鈭?.68 to 鈭?.17 eV. Regardless of the electron-rich comonomer, fluorescence and X-ray diffraction data were consistent with the polymer chains being assembled through the stacking of NDI moieties in an offset face-to-face fashion rather than alternating donor鈥揳cceptor stacks.
