A new copolymer was synthesized via reaction of new pyridine-containing dibromo compound, 2,6-bis(4-bromophenyl)-4-(naphthalen-1-yl) pyridine, with thiophene-based diboronic ester via Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. 2,6-Bis(4-bromophenyl)-4-(naphthalen-1-yl) pyridine was synthesized starting from condensation reactions of 4-bromoacetophenone and 1-naphthaldehyde. The synthesized monomer and polymer were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. The physical properties of the polymer, including solubility and viscosity were studied, and the results showed good solubility and chain growth for polymer. Maximum absorption peak for polymer was 388 nm. The optical band gap energy of the polymers was determined by absorption onset and found to be 2.38 eV for polymer.
