AB  - The synthesis of a novel fused hexacyclic electron rich monomer incorporating 
      thieno[3,2-b]thiophene is reported and characterized by single crystal X-ray 
      diffraction. Suzuki co-polymerization with benzothiadiazole (BT) afforded a novel 
      low band-gap polymer P4TBT with high molecular weights and good solution 
      processability. Bulk heterojunction solar cell devices using the P4TBT and 
      [70]PCBM gave power conversion efficiencies of 2.5%. Top-gate, bottom-contact 
      field effect transistors (FETs) using P4TBT displayed high hole mobilities of 
      0.07 cm(2) . Vs(-1) demonstrating the suitability of the novel monomer and 
      polymer for use in high performing organic electronic devices.
