Abstract

Conjugated polymers have become important materials as the emissive medium in light- emitting diodes (LED).[1] In that regard poly (2, 7-fluorenes)(PF) are often used due to their valuable optical and electrical properties.[2] Different methods for the preparation of this important substance class have been developed. Initially, polyfluorene was prepared by oxidative coupling of fluorene.[3] However, regioselectivity problems occurred. ...
