Abstract This short communication describes synthesis, optical and electronic properties of novel 9,9-dialkylfluorene- co -fluorenone copolymers which function as model systems for degradation-induced changes in polyfluorene-type semiconducting materials. Only very small fractions of incorporated fluorenone building blocks lead to a dramatic change of the solid state properties (photo- and electroluminescence). The results are discussed in terms of intra- vs. intermolecular excitation energy transfer.
