In article number 1700519 , a novel head‐to‐head bithiophene building block, BTfOR, is synthesized by Han Young Woo, Xugang Guo, and co‐workers. The F atom offsets the electron donating effect of the alkoxy chain and an intramolecular noncovalent S…O interaction ensures a self‐planarized polymer backbone. The study offers a promising materials design strategy for high‐performance organic semiconductors.
