A synthetic route for a new conjugated polymer, poly(2,6-quinoline vinylene
) (PQV) is presented. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of polymer showed lamb
da(max) at 430 nm and the fluorescence maximum was observed at 515 nm by us
ing 430 nm excitation wavelength. Polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs), con
structed with ITO/PQV/Al configuration, showed broad emission with lambda(m
ax) at 530 nm.
