Abstract

A series of fluorescent conjugated polymers, poly (pyreneethynylene) s, have been designed and synthesized to investigate the effect of shape of polymer backbone on physical properties. Polymers with linear and kinked backbone were synthesized using 1, 6- and 1, 8-disubstituted pyrene. The target copolymers were designed to incorporate various spacer units, such as, alkoxyphenyl, carbazole and fluorene on the polymer backbone. ...
