Abstract

A novel π-conjugated polymer (PCPyrene) containing N-benzylcarbazole and pyrene units has been synthesized and characterized. The polymer possesses high thermal stability with the decomposition temperature of 440°C. It shows higher fluorescence quantum yields of in solution and solid state, respectively. PCPyrene can emit bright blue-lights both in different organic solutions (440–460nm) and in the solid state (492nm). Compared the emission spectra of PCPyrene in solutions with in solid state, the solid state emission of PCPyrene is significantly red-shifted. Additionally, it is not obvious changes of the solid emission spectra even after being annealed at 150°C under nitrogen for 24h. The electrochemical properties and energy levels of PCPyrene were also investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, in order to provide a basis forecasting the structure–physical property relationships, the photophysical properties of PCPyrene have been carefully investigated by fluorescence emission and UV–vis absorption spectra.
