Abstract

Polyfluorenes containing metal complexes, especially phosphorescent heavy-metal complexes, are a type of important optoelectronic materials. The present review summarizes the synthesis and optoelectronic properties of polyfluorenes with phosphorescent heavy-metal complexes on the chain. Efficient energy transfer from polymer main-chain to metal centers occurs in these host–guest systems. The promise of strong emission and the easiness for processing in organic electronic devices provide incentives to develop these materials intensively. The range of applications of these materials spans the whole field of interaction between light and electricity. Especially, attention is given to the interesting optoelectronic properties and promising applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), memory devices, and sensors.
