Disclosed are certain polymeric compounds and their use as organic semiconductors in organic and hybrid optical, optoelectronic, and/or electronic devices such as photovoltaic cells, light emitting diodes, light emitting transistors, field effect transistors, and photodetectors. The disclosed compounds can provide improved device performance, for example, as measured by power conversion efficiency, fill factor, open circuit voltage, field-effect mobility, on/off current ratios, and/or air stability when used in photovoltaic cells or transistors. The disclosed compounds can have good solubility in common solvents enabling device fabrication via solution processes.
An optoelectronic device comprising an anode, a cathode optionally one or more anode interlayers, optionally one or more cathode interlayers, and in between the anode and the cathode a photoactive component, the photoactive component comprising a fullerene compound and a random copolymer, wherein the random copolymer is represented by formula (IVa) or (VIIIa):
