A. Lux et al., NEW CF3-SUBSTITUTED PPV-TYPE OLIGOMERS AND POLYMERS FOR USE AS HOLE BLOCKING LAYERS IN LEDS, Synthetic metals, 84(1-3), 1997, pp. 293-294
New CF3-substituted PPV derivatives have been synthesised by Wittig-Ho
rner polycondensation. To obtain a better understanding of the relatio
nship between absorption and luminescence properties and structure a s
ingle crystal X-ray analysis of a model oligomer has been performed. T
he effect of electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups at vinylidene
linkages in PPVs on absorption, luminescence, hole blocking and elect
ron injecting properties has been investigated.
