Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of aryl-substituted PPVs, which have shown excellent processability, good thermal stability, high photoluminescence quantum efficiency and low content of structural defects. The substituents of the polymers were designed with different degree of hindrance effect on the main chain. 1H NMR measurement indicates that the defect structure in the polymer main chain can be effectively depressed by introducing bulk and hindrance substituents.
