he development of efficient and low-cost polymeric

semiconductors is a longstanding scientific goal. Major

research effort has been delegated to the design of polymeric

materials with excellent electron transport properties and

ambient stability for their potential applications in transistors,

solar cells, consumer electronics, etc. In recent years, there has

been particular interest in developing solution-processable

n-type semiconductor compounds. Of these compounds,

copolymerized thiazole-based heteroatomic polymers have

recently shown impressive potential as active materials in organic

electronics. These thiazole-based heteroatomic compounds

are characterizedπ by their closely packed -π arrangement and

rigid backbone structure. Herein, we will study the design and

synthesis of different pyrrole thiazole-based ladder polymeric

structures. We will report the chemical, optical, and mechanical

properties of different alkyl branching of the thiazole-based

core and different copolymerization structures. The polymers

exhibited excellent solubility, broad absorption spectrum, and

sufficient electrochemical and thermal stability. Furthermore,

we investigate the copolymerization of fluorinated and non-

fluorinated thiadiazole-based polymers. The fluorinated

thiadiazole polymers are expected to show higher electron

mobility and exhibit better photovoltaic performance. With

such successful outcomes, the future of high-performance and

ambient stable polymeric semiconductors remains promising

and near.
