Abstract
We have synthesized two poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivatives. The f irst one consists of a copolymer formed by a random succession of phenylene vinylene and ether groups and the second one is characterized by a pendant side chain containing ether groups hereafter referred to as polyXI and C8- PPV respectively. The polymer's chemical structures were characterized by C -13 solid State NMR, FTIR and microanalysis. Thermal and structural properties were studied by differential scanning cal orimetry and X-ray diffraction. The results were compared to pristine PPV. The effect of pendant side chain was discussed. Moreover, spectroscopic pro perties were investigated by means of photoluminescence and electron parama gnetic resonance and correlated to the material structure. From these studi es we were able to present a possible explanation for the C8-PPV insolubili ty. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
