Abstract
A germafluorene-fluorene copolymer was successfully obtained via Suzuki polymerization. The germanium containing copolymer has an efficient blue light emission under the ultraviolet irradiation and its single layer EL device showed the highest brightness of 2630 cd/m2 at 7.8 V and the highest efficiency of 0.301 lm/W at 6.2 V. The copolymer can also serve as the host material for phosphorescent metal complexes with the maximum brightness of 15600 cd/m2 and the quantum efficiency of 8.5%. The results are quite promising and promise that as its analogs of fluorene and silafluorene, germafluorene is an excellent building block for blue light-emitting polymers and host materials.
