Abstract

We report here the synthesis, polymerization, and properties of highly fluorescent vinyl polymers containing pendant pyrrolopyridazines. Their luminescence quantum efficiencies can be as high as 60%, and all polymers showed strong luminescence even in the solid state, which is indicative of little self-quenching in these systems. The polymers were processable into films, fibers, and rods that were suitable for several device applications. ...
