poly[2,7-(9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorenyl)-alt-(pyridinyl)] &poly[2,7-(9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorenyl)](I), poly[2,7-(9,9-bis[3,5-bis(benzyloxy)benzyl])fluorenyl-alt-(pyridinyl)](II) and poly[(2,7-(N-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazloyl)-alt-(pyridinyl)] (III) All polymers were prepared by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction and the structures of all polymers were confirmed by 1H-NMR Their properties such as absorption and emission, thermal stability, electrochemical properties were studied The result shows that the different linkage position of pyridinyl unit in the polymer backbone has significant effects on the electronic and optical properties of polymers in solution and in film phases Meta-linkage(3,5-and 2,6-linkage) of pyridinyl units in the polymer backbone is more favourable to polymer for pure blue emission and prevention of aggregation of polymer chain than para-linkage(2,5-linkage) of the pyridinyl units These polymers with pyridinyl units possess very low LUMO energy levels for an easy electron injection from a cathode It also shows that the electronic and optical properties of fluorescent polymers can be well tuned by properly rationalized design of polymer architectures such as the introduction of proper side chain and incorporation of different pyridinyl moieties into polymer backbone vi Chapter Introduction 1.1 General introduction to conjugated polymers Conjugated polymers have been increasingly attracting interest for the past 50 years Earlier conventional insulating-polymer systems were used as substitutes for structural materials such as wood, ceramics and metals because of their high strength, light weight, ease of chemical modification/customization, and processibility at low temperature It was in 1977 that Shirakawa, MacDiarmid, Heeger and coworkers first discovered that the films of polyacetylene (PA) exhibited profound increase in electrical conductivity when exposed to iodine vapor This discovery opened the modern era of conjugated conducting polymers Since then, this class of conducting polymers has been greatly enlarged Many conjugated conducting polymers including polyaniline (PAN) , polypyrool (PPyR) 3, polythiophene (PT) 4, poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) 5, poly(p-phenylene sulphide) 6, and poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) have been synthesized and studied The electrical conductivities of these polymer systems range from those 104 S/cm (nearly that of a good metal such as copper, 5×10 S/cm) Apart form syntheses and investigation of potential application of new conjugated materials, a prime focus of the field has been the determination of the mechanisms of charge transfer in these organic semiconductors Compared to metals and traditional semiconductors, the conducting mechanism of conjugated polymers is obviously different Metals are intrinsically conducting due to the presence of free electrons In traditional three-dimentional semiconductors, the fourfold (or sixfold, etc.) coordination of each atom to its neighbor through covalent bonds leads to a rigid structure In such systems, the electronic excitation can be usually considered in the context of this rigid structure leading to the conventional concepts of electrons and holes as the dominant excitations However, the essential structural characteristic of conjugated polymers is their conjugated π system extending over a number of recurrent monomeric units The twofold coordination makes these systems generally more susceptible to structural distortion This characteristic feature results in low-dimentional materials with a high anisotropy in conductivity, which is higher along the chain direction As a result, the dominant “electronic” excitations are inherently coupled to chain distortions The terms, solitons, polarons and bipolarons from solid-state physics are used to interpret the excitations in this class of one-dimentional polymer semiconductors When an electron moves in an ionic crystal, its surrounding medium will be polarized with negative ions being repelled away and positive ions being attracted towards it The relative motion of the opposite ions gives rise to a polarization field, which in turn, affects the motion of the electron itself This complex―moving electron and its accompanying polarization field is called a polaron In conducting polymers, the term polaron is used to denote a localized electron state with accompanying lattice distortion, which forms a cation-radical pair Because polarons represent localized distortions of the lattice, the associated energy levels must split off from the conduction and valence band A polaron has a spin state of 1/2 (paramagnetic) In the case of perisitent attractive interaction between two polarons, formation of a stable bound state called a bipolaron is favored Bipolaron is double charged but spinless Similarly, because the structural deformation associated with the two charges is stronger than in the case of a polaron, the electronic energy levels of the bipolarons appear further away form the band edges A charge soliton which is a spinless cation is formed when bipolarons dissociate However, the conjugated polymers are well-known insulators in their pure forms Poly (p-phenylenevinylene) has an intrinsic resistivity of 1016Ω cm7 In order to achieve (semi)conducting materials, charge carriers have to be introduced in some ways Normally, three ways of introducing charge carriers are used: 1) Doping-induced charge carriers 2) Photo- and radiation-induced charge carriers 3) Charge injection from suitable electrodes 1.2 Conductivity in conjugated polymers Similar to semiconductors, the conductivity (σ) of conjugated polymers can be expressed by the following equation: σ=neµ (1.1) Where e is the elementary charge, n is the number of mobile charge carriers and µ is the mobility of the charge carriers The number and mobility of the charge carriers are the two key factors contributing to the conductivity of polymers The first (n) is related to the doping levels while the later (µ) is governed by the transport processes of charge carriers 1.2.1 Conducting mechanism There are two general classes of conducting polymer structures that lead to qualitatively different electronic properties: (i) Systems in which the ground state is twofold 8.8 8.4 8.0 7.6 7.2 6.8 6.4 6.0 5.6 5.2 4.8 4.4
