Synthesis of porphyrin-PPV copolymers for application in LEDs
2000
A new series of soluble porphyrin-containing copolymers have been synthesized via the Gilch methodology [1], for use in light-emitting devices (LEDs). These materials consist of random copolymers of 2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene (MEH-PPV) and a porphyrin-substituted phenylene vinylene. Low concentrations of porphyrin monomers were used in order to improve solubility, and help prevent aggregation (and consequent fluorescence quenching) of the porphyrin units. Emission is red-shifted from that expected in dialkoxy-PPVs such as MEH-PPV owing to an efficient exciton transfer to the fluorescent porphyrin unit.
