The synthesis and characterization of two new anthradithiophene (ADT) derivatives substituted by thiophenyl or 2‐octylthiophenyl units at the 5,11‐positions and donor (triphenylamine) or acceptor (aldehyde functions) moieties at the 2,8‐positions of their backbone are described. Optical measurements were performed to evaluate the effect of electron‐rich/‐poor substituents on their stability towards photo‐oxidation and were supported by quantum chemical calculations and cyclic voltammetry experiments.
