Abstract

Two novel alternating phenylenevinylene copolymers P6 and P12 as well as one fluorenevinylene copolymer F connected at the 1, 7 bay positions with perylene bisimide were synthesized by Heck coupling. They were characterized by GPC, FT-IR, 1H NMR, TGA, TMA, UV–vis, cyclic voltammetry and photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra. The copolymers were soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable up to∼ 300° C ...
