Abstract A description of the synthesis of random (9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl),(dibenzothiophene- S,S -dioxide-3,7-diyl) co-polymers (p(F-S)x) by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling polymerization where the feed ratio of the latter is varied from 2 to 30,mol % (i.e., x,=,2,30) is given. Polymer light emitting devices are fabricated with the configuration indium tin oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonic acid)/p(F,S)x/Ba/Al. The device external quantum efficiency increased as the ratio of the S co-monomer was increased, up to a maximum of 1.3% at 100,mA cm,2 for p(F-S)30 and a brightness of 3 770,cd m,2 (at 10,V). The S units impart improved electron injection, more balanced mobilities, and markedly improved device performance compared to poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) under similar conditions. These co-polymers display broad emission, observed as greenish-white light, which arises from dual fluorescence, viz. both local excited states and charge transfer states. Utilizing dual emission can reduce problems associated with Förster energy transfer from high-energy to-low energy excited states. [source]


Synthesis and white electroluminescent properties of multicomponent copolymers containing polyfluorene, oligo(phenylenevinylene), and porphyrin derivatives

Abstract Two novel multicomponent copolymers (P1 and P2) containing polyfluorene (PF), oligo(phenylenevinylene) (OPV), and porphyrin (Por) derivatives were synthesized according to the Suzuki polymerization method. The structures, optical, and electrochemical properties of the two model compounds (OPV and Por) and multicomponent copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, elemental analysis, UV,vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. Both of the copolymers exhibit thermotropic liquid crystalline properties and represent the characteristic Schlieren textures in a wide temperature range. Electroluminescence spectra of these copolymers exhibit broadband emissions covering the entire visible region from 400 to 700 nm. The single layer polymer light emitting diodes device based on P2 with a configuration of indium tin oxide/poly(ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonic acid)/polymers/Ca/Al emits white light with the Commission Internationale de l,Eclairage chromaticity coordinates of (0.29, 0.30), maximum brightness of 443 cd/m2. The white-light-emitting devices based on the novel multicomponent copolymers exhibit low turn-on voltage, and good color stability at different driving voltages as well. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(triarylamine): Its synthesis, properties, and blend with polyfluorene for white-light electroluminescence

JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 9 2007
Hung-Yi Lin
Abstract A new high-molecular-weight poly(triarylamine), poly[di(1-naphthyl)-4-anisylamine] (PDNAA), was successfully synthesized by oxidative coupling polymerization from di(1-naphthyl)-4-anisylamine (DNAA) with FeCl3 as an oxidant. PDNAA was readily soluble in common organic solvents and could be processed into freestanding films with high thermal decomposition and softening temperatures. Cyclic voltammograms of DNAA and PDNAA exhibited reversible oxidative redox couples at the potentials of 0.85 and 0.85 V, respectively, because of the oxidation of the main-chain triarylamine unit. This suggested that PDNAA is a hole-transporting material with an estimated HOMO level of 5.19 eV. The absorption maximum of a PDNAA film appeared at 370 nm, with an estimated band gap of 2.86 eV from the absorption edge. Unusual multiple photoluminescence maxima were observed at 546 nm, and this suggested its potential application in white-light-emission devices. Nearly white-light-emission devices could be obtained with either a bilayer-structure approach {indium tin oxide/poly(ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)/PDNAA/poly[2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)] (PF)/Ca} or a polymer-blend approach (PF/PDNAA = 95:5). The luminance yield and maximum external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode with the PF/PDNAA blend as the emissive layer were 1.29 cd/A and 0.71%, respectively, and were significantly higher than those of the homopolymer. This study suggests that the PDNAA is a versatile material for electronic and optoelectronic applications. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 1727,1736, 2007 [source]


Phenothiazine- S,S -dioxide- and fluorene-based light-emitting polymers: Introduction of e, -deficient S,S -dioxide into e, -rich phenothiazine

Abstract A novel series of poly(10-hexyl-phenothiazine- S,S -dioxide-3,7-diyl) and poly(9,9,-dioctyl-fluorene-2,7-diyl- alt -10-hexyl-3,7-phenothiazine- S,S -dioxide) (PFPTZ-SS) compounds were synthesized through Ni(0)-mediated Yamamoto polymerization and Pd(II)-catalyzed Suzuki polymerization. The synthesized polymers were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis and showed higher glass transition temperatures than that of pristine polyfluorene. In terms of photoluminescence (PL), the PFPTZ-SS compounds were highly fluorescent with bright blue emissions in the solid state. Light-emitting devices were fabricated with these polymers in an indium tin oxide/poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)/polymer/Ca/Al configuration. The electroluminescence (EL) of the copolymers differed from the PL characteristics: the EL device exhibited a redshifted greenish-blue emission in contrast to the blue emission observed in the PL. Additionally, this unique phenothiazine- S,S -dioxide property, triggered by the introduction of an electron-deficient SO2 unit into the electron-rich phenothiazine, gave rise to improvements in the brightness, maximum luminescence intensity, and quantum efficiency of the EL devices fabricated with PFPTZ-SS. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis, optical properties, and electroluminescence of conjugated poly(p -phenylenevinylene) derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine rings in the main chain

Abstract Three new poly(p -phenylenevinylene) derivatives,PO, POD, and POP,with oxadiazole and pyridine rings along the main chain were synthesized via Heck coupling. The polymers were amorphous and dissolved readily in common organic solvents. They showed relatively low glass-transition temperatures (up to 42 °C) and satisfactory thermal stability. Solutions of the polymers emitted blue-greenish light with photoluminescence (PL) emission maxima around 460 nm and PL quantum yields of 0.28,0.49. Thin films of the polymers displayed PL emission maxima at 461,521 nm, and their tendency to form aggregates was significantly influenced by the chemical structure. Light-emitting diodes with polymers PO and POP, with an indium tin oxide/poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/polymer/Ca configuration, emitted yellow and green light, respectively, and this could be attributed to excimer emission. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract Substituent-induced electroluminescence polymers,poly[2-(2-dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] [(o -R3Si)PhPPV], poly[2-(3-dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] [(m -R3Si)PhPPV], and poly[2-(4-dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] [(p -R3Si)PhPPV],were synthesized according to the Gilch polymerization method. The band gap and spectroscopic data were tuned by the dimethyldodecylsilyl substituent being changed from the ortho position to the para position in the phenyl side group along the polymer backbone. The weight-average molecular weights and polydispersities were 8.0,96 × 104 and 3.0,3.4, respectively. The maximum photoluminescence wavelengths for (o -R3Si)PhPPV, (m -R3Si)PhPPV, and (p -R3Si)PhPPV appeared around 500,530 nm in the green emission region. Double-layer light-emitting diodes with an indium tin oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polymer/Al configuration were fabricated with these polymers. The turn-on voltages and the maximum brightness of (o -R3Si)PhPPV, (m -R3Si)PhPPV, and (p -R3Si)PhPPV were 6.5,8.7 V and 1986,5895 cd/m2, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
