M. Aguiar et al., LIGHT-EMITTING POLYMERS WITH PENDANT CHROMOPHORIC GROUPS .1. POLY(STILBENYL-P-METHOXYSTYRENE), Macromolecules, 28(13), 1995, pp. 4598-4602
An electroluminescent polymer in which the chromophoric pendant groups
are attached to a nonconjugated main chain, poly(stilbenyl-p-methoxys
tyrene), has been synthesized by a Williamson condensation of poly(p-a
cetoxystyrene) and p-(chloromethyl)stilbene. Characterization was carr
ied out by NMR, FTIR, DSC, and elemental analysis. When used as the ac
tive layer of a light-emitting diode, emission was observed with a spe
ctral maximum at 450 nm.
