Soluble green light-emitting poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene-co-fluorenone) was synthesized by solvent-free oxidative coupling polymerization of 9,9-dihexylfluorene in a facile one-step reaction. The polymers were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The region-regular structure of the polymer linking at 2, 7′-position on the fluorene moieties was obtained. The FT-IR spectra of the polymers showed fluorenone vibration. The fluorescence spectra of the solid thin film of the polymers displayed green light-emitting, which was emitted from fluorenone moieties produced in the polymerization process.
Dihexylfluorene and N-butylcarbazole were copolymerized by solid-state oxidative coupling polymerization in the presence of anhydrous FeCl_3 at room temperature.The solid-state films of the copolymers emitted blue light after heating at 150℃in air for 24 h,no red-shifted emission was observed by fluorescence spectroscopy.
