Abstract
The synthesis and properties of highly luminescent oligo(phenylenevinylene)s (OPV) with curable alkoxysilyl groups are described. Two diethoxymethylsilane moieties are connected directly or through flexible spacers to monodisperse alkoxy-substituted OPVs via hydrosilylation of alkinyl and allyloxy groups, Heck reaction with silylstyrene or condensation of aldehydes with aminopropyl silanes. Hydrolysis of the alkoxysilanes yields silanols condensing to curable three-dimensional networks, thus allowing the transformation of small molecules to transparent and fluorescent films with well-defined chromophores.
