Electrochemically active polymers are widely used in (opto)electronic applications, e.g. organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), solar cells or other light harvesting devices. In this regard, the progress in controlled polymerization techniques opens new possibilities to construct covalently linked polymer architectures, e.g. block copolymers or graft copolymers, from defined building blocks. These architectures represent promising candidates for application in (opto)electronic devices as they allow control of the morphology through self-assembly processes and, furthermore, are capable of mimicking fundamental processes for directional charge transport or light harvesting. This review details synthetic approaches to prepare functional redox-active and conjugated homopolymers as well as the construction of covalently linked well-defined architectures thereof, e.g. block copolymers, graft copolymers or chain end functionalized assemblies.

合成方法可用于结构定义的电化学和（光）氧化还原活性聚合物结构

电化学活性聚合物广泛用于（光电）电子应用，例如有机发光二极管（OLED），有机场效应晶体管（OFET），太阳能电池或其他光收集设备。在这方面，受控聚合技术的进步为构建共价连接的聚合物结构提供了新的可能性，例如来自定义的结构单元的嵌段共聚物或接枝共聚物。这些体系结构代表了在（光）电子设备中应用的有希望的候选者，因为它们允许通过自组装过程控制形态，而且能够模仿用于定向电荷传输或光收集的基本过程。这篇综述详细介绍了制备功能性氧化还原活性和共轭均聚物的合成方法，以及其共价连接的定义明确的体系结构的构建，例如嵌段共聚物，接枝共聚物或链端官能化的组件。
