Abstract

Grubbs‐type, Hoveyda‐type, cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC)‐based ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts were used for the acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of 2,7‐divinyl‐9,9‐di‐n‐octylfluorene (DVF). Additionally, various ratios of DVF and 2,2′,7,7′‐tetravinyl‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (TVSF) were subjected to ADMET polymerization to obtain polymers P1–P7. Polymers P1–P4 were analyzed with gel permeation chromatography, UV–vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. As the TVSF ratio increases, polymers exhibit lower solubility but a narrower band in the photoluminescence spectrum. Polymer light‐emitting diode (PLED) devices were fabricated with polymers P1, P2, and P3. The performances of the PLED devices indicated that polymers including more spirobifluorene blocks showed better turn‐on voltage, brightness, current efficiency, and power efficiency.
