Y. Itoh et al., ALTERNATING COPOLYMERS CONSISTING OF ARYLALKYL METHACRYLATES .3. PHOSPHORESCENCE OF POLY(ARYLALKYL-METHACRYLATE-ALT-STYRENE) IN A RIGID SOLUTION, Polymers for advanced technologies, 8(1), 1997, pp. 35-38
Delayed emission was observed for alternating and random copolymers of
9-phenanthrylmethyl methacrylate and 2-(9-carbazolyl)ethyl methacryla
te with styrene in a rigid solution at 77 K. All the copolymers showed
monomeric phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence, indicating the ab
sence of deep trap sites in either the excited singlet or triplet stat
es. The delayed fluorescence was more pronounced for the random copoly
mers with higher chromophore contents than that for the alternating co
polymers. Hence, the interchromophore distance is crucial for efficien
t triplet-state energy migration.
