High molecular weight dendronized poly(fluorene)s with peripheral carbazole groups: Synthesis, characterization, and properties
Novel kinds of dendronized polymers with both functional core and periphery were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation (SPC) of carbazole-functionalized 2,7-dibromofluorene macromonomers with 9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diboronic ester. The polymers obtained are of high molecular weight and good thermal stabilities. Photoluminescent studies showed that these kinds of dendronized polymers were promising blue light-emitting materials, which exhibited high quantum efficient yields in solution and films (mainly for second generation).
