Abstract: The bandgap (Eg) of conjugated materials effects a variety of critical properties such that efforts to control the bandgap have become a basic tenet in the design of conjugated polymers. One goal of such efforts is to minimize the Eg with the goal of producing technologically useful low bandgap (Eg < 1.5 eV) polymers. This perspective will introduce the two primary approaches to low Eg polymers (i.e., quinoidal systems and donor-acceptor frameworks) and discuss important new directions for both design principles.

Key words: low bandgap, narrow bandgap, quinoidal, donor-acceptor, ambipolar units
