Two-dimensional poly[fluorene-alt-bithiophene] backboned copolymers with phenylvinyl bridged accepting side chain exhibit tuned bandgap and absorption spectrum with different accepting units, which may be used as promising electroluminescent materials.
Two-dimensional poly[fluorene-alt-bithiophene] backboned copolymers were prepared by introducing phenylvinyl bridged accepting side chain containing malononitrile, 1,3-indanedione, or 4-nitrophenyl acetonitrile accepting moiety. The structural, optical, electroluminescent, electrochemical properties of these polymers were studied in details. These polymers possess good thermal stability and low highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level (−5.59 to 5.67 eV). Results show that the introduction of π-conjugated accepting side chains can effectively adjust the optical and electrochemical properties of the resulting polymers. These new alternating copolymers may be promising electroluminescent materials.
