Abstract: A series of donor–acceptor π-conjugated polymers based on Difluorophenazine acceptor and benzodithiophene donor units with different substituents, hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), fluorine (F), and sulfur (S), was designed and synthesized to investigate how donor-side substituent modification influences optoelectronic properties. The substituent variation systematically modulated the optical band gaps (1.72–1.82 eV) and HOMO energy levels (−5.42 to −5.58 eV). When applied in bulk heterojunction solar cells with the Y6 acceptor, these polymers delivered power conversion efficiencies ranging from 3.85% to 7.79%. The fluorinated polymer P(BDTTF-TffPzT) exhibited the best performance, with Jsc = 19.65 mA cm−2, Voc = 0.825 V, and FF = 0.481. These findings establish that donor-side substituent engineering is an effective molecular design strategy for tuning optoelectronic properties and device performance in phenazine-based polymer systems.
