•Alternating benzene-furan oligomer dyes have been synthesized.•The relationships between the structures and the effects of spectral behaviors were discussed.•Synthesized dyes are highly luminescent and thermally stable.•The OLED based on synthesized dyes was demonstrated.
A series of conjugated-chain compounds which contain two furan units and more than three other aromatic ring units were synthesized by two different methods, their UV–visible absorption coefficient (ε), maximum absorption wavelengths (λa), fluorescence emission wavelengths (λe), stokes shift and quantum yields (Φ) were determined, the relationships between the molecular structures and the effects of spectral behaviors were discussed. Meanwhile, the excitation spectrum and emission spectrum of 2b and 2d in solid and in ethyl acetate were respectively recorded, the thermal stability of 2b and 2d was evaluated, and the fluorescence emission behaviors of two light emitting diodes, fabricated with 2b and 2d as phosphors, were investigated. The results showed that most of target compounds can perform high fluorescence emission ability, compounds 2b and 2d can perform higher thermal stability under 350 °C and they are suitable for making light emitting diode as phosphors, the light emitting diodes fabricated with 2b and 2d can show higher fluorescence emission ability. Therefore, those compounds are worthy of further being developed as fluorescent emission materials.
