Abstract

A new 2,3-dibutoxy-1,4-phenylene vinylene is reported with high photoluminescence (approx. 40%) and electroluminescence efficiencies. The unusual substitution pattern is effective in tuning the emission colour as the polymer exhibits unexpected blue-shifted emission to the green region. Crystal structures of model oligomers (PL efficiencies approx. 80%) and theoretical calculations on optimised geometry offer insight into these interesting properties.
