The copolymer route to new luminescent materials for LEDs
Abstract
The synthesis of the highly fluorescent mono- and bis-silylated poly(1,4-phenylene vinylene) derivatives 1 and 2 is reported. The Gilch dehydrohalogenation polycondensation and the Horner synthesis of strictly alternating copolymers have been used to prepare the copolymers 8-11 and 14, 16-18, respectively, in which the tunability of various optoelectonic properties may be examined systematically.
