The synthesis and preliminary optoelectronic properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers differing by the acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. Polymers CoP1, CoP2 and CoP3 were designed to yield alternating DA segments with randomly distributed different acceptor units along polymer backbone. The combination of neutral state red colored and neutral state green colored materials resulted in different neutral state colors with respect to their additional acceptor unit. 5,8-Dibromo-2,3-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl) quinoxaline, 5,8-dibromo-2,3-di(thiophen-2-yl)quinoxaline and 4,7-dibromobenzo[c][1,2,5]selenadiazole units were perceived as additional acceptor units and these constituents were combined with the 4,7-dibromo-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole unit and the 2,5-bis(tributylstannyl)thiophene moiety via Stille coupling. The resultant donor acceptor type random copolymers indicated that possessing 5,8-dibromo-2,3-di(thiophen-2-yl)quinoxaline as an extra electron deficient with 4,7-dibromo-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole unit on the same polymer backbone originated a neutral state black colored copolymer along with spanning the entire visible spectrum.
