A conjugated copolymer having an alternate structure of 9, 10-diphenylanthracene and 1, 3- diphenylallene was synthesized by the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with 9, 10- dibororanylanthracene and 1, 3-bis (4-bromophenyl)-1, 3-diphenylallene. The diphenylanthracene moiety worked as an absorptive and emissive center unit in the polymer. The twisted allene moiety not only controlled conjugation length of the polymer ...
