Improved synthetic methodology for poly(3-hexyl- and 3-octyloxycarbonylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (1a and 1b) is reported.
n
=6700 and 9400 (
w
/
n
=2.5 and 3.2), λ
max
for fluorescence emission=600 and 610 nm and λ
max
for electroluminescence=600 and 615 nm, for 1a and 1b respectively. The
1
H NMR spectra required that pentads be considered to explain the spectra. That is the four nearest neighbours to a given ring influence the
1
H NMR spectrum. Electroluminescence efficiencies of 0.016% and 0.018% were observed for devices made from 1a and 1b, respectively. A bilayer device of ITO/poly(3-octylthiophene)/1b/Al emitted at 646 nm, the same wavelength where poly(3-octylthiophene) itself emits. The efficiency was low but was an order of magnitude greater than for poly(3-octylthiophene) itself. Regioregular (HH-TT) poly(4,4′-bis(hexyl- and octyloxycarbonyl)[2,2′-bithiophene]-5,5′-diyl) (3a and 3b) were also prepared via the Ullmann reaction and
n
=7900 and 11000 respectively. Films of 3a and 3b were yellow in color and showed λ
max
=377 and 381 nm respectively, about 55-80 nm blue shifted compared with 1a and 1b. This is due to the large rotational barrier in the HH dyads which reduces the effective conjugation length in 3a and 3b. 3a and 3b showed bright fluorescence and electroluminescence with emission of yellow light. Electroluminescence efficiencies were 8.5×10
–3
% and 4.7×10
–3
%, respectively.
报道了聚(3-己基-和3-辛氧基羰基噻吩-2,5-二基)(1a和1b)的改进合成方法。1a和1b的聚合度分别为6700和9400(重均/数均聚合度=2.5和3.2),其荧光发射最大波长分别为600和610 nm,电致发光最大波长分别为600和615 nm。1H NMR光谱要求考虑五聚体来解释光谱,即特定环的四个最近邻对1H NMR光谱有影响。从1a和1b制备的器件的电致发光效率分别为0.016%和0.018%。ITO/聚(3-辛基噻吩)/1b/Al的双层器件在646 nm处发光,这与聚(3-辛基噻吩)本身的发光波长相同。虽然效率较低,但比聚(3-辛基噻吩)本身的发光效率高出一个数量级。还通过Ullmann反应制备了区域规整的(HH-TT)聚[4,4′-双(己基-和辛氧基羰基)[2,2′-联噻吩]-5,5′-二基](3a和3b),聚合度分别为7900和11000。3a和3b的薄膜呈黄色,显示的最大吸收波长分别为377和381 nm,相比于1a和1b蓝移了约55-80 nm。这是由于HH二聚体中的高旋转能垒减少了3a和3b中的有效共轭长度。3a和3b表现出明亮的荧光和电致发光,发射黄色光。电致发光效率分别为8.5×10–3%和4.7×10–3%。
