A novel silyl-substituted solvent processable poly(1,4-phenylenevinyle
ne) (PPV) derivative, poly(2-dimethyloctylsilyl-1,4-phenylenevinylene)
(DMOS-PPV) is synthesized by the dehydrohalogenation route from 2-dim
ethyloctylsilyl-1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, and the light-emitting pr
operties of the polymer are studied; single layer electroluminescent d
evices (ITO/polymer/Ca or Al) exhibit an emission maximum at 520 nm wi
th internal quantum efficiency in the range 0.2-0.3%.
