Arsole-derived conjugated polymers are a relatively new class of materials in the field of organic electronics. Herein, we report the synthesis of two new donor polymers containing fused dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]arsole units and report their application in bulk heterojunction solar cells for the first time. Devices based upon blends with PC 71 BM display high open circuit voltages around 0.9 V and demonstrate power conversion efficiencies around 4%.
