Despite the remarkable progress achieved in recent years, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) still need work to approach the delicate balance between efficiency, stability, and cost. Herein, two fully non‐fused electron acceptors, PTB4F and PTB4Cl, are developed via a two‐step synthesis from single aromat...
