Abstract

Conjugated ployfluorene with 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl groups (EO-PF) is prepared by the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The polymer is purified carefully by a simple chemical procedure. The inductively coupled plasma (ICP) test shows palladium-catalyst in the polymer can be removed by this procedure. The thermal properties, electrochemical properties, UV-Vis absorption properties, photoluminescence properties and electroluminescent properties of the polymer without (EO-PF1) or with purification (EO-PF2) are studied. EO-PF2 shows better PL CIE coordinates in THF solutions as blue light-emitting materials and better photoluminescence stability in thin solid films. Polymer light emitting diodes and electrochemical cells based on EO-PF2 exhibit somewhat improved optoelectronic performance than control devices of EO-PF1.
