M. Aguiar et al., ELECTROLUMINESCENT DEVICES BASED ON MODIFIED POLYSTYRENE .2. PENDANT ANTHRACENYL GROUPS AS LIGHT EMITTERS, Synthetic metals, 71(1-3), 1995, pp. 2189-2190
A new light emitting polymer with pendant anthracene based units attac
hed to a polystyrene backbone has been obtained, namely poly(styrene-c
o-anthracenyl-9-methoxystyrene). It was synthesized through a Williams
on condensation of poly(styrene-co-acetoxystyrene) and 9-chloromethyla
nthracene. The copolymer contained one chromophore for each two styren
e units, and showed an emission spectral maximum entered at 590 nm.
