Blue Electroluminescence from Poly(<i>p</i>-phenylene) Solubilized by Perfluoropropylation

Abstract

Abstract Perfluoropropylation of poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) was carried out with the intention of obtaining soluble PPP dervatives. The resulting polymers were chracterized by UV/vis and IR spectroscopy. An electroluminescent device emitting blue-green light depending on the bias voltage was fabricated from this polymer.
