  • uv irradiation enhanced photoluminescence emission of polyfluorenes containing heterocyclic benzo c cinnoline moieties
    Macromolecules, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jyhchien Chen, Hongze Lin
    Abstract:

    Polyfluorenes (PFO) derivatives, containing different ratios of heterocyclic, electron-withdrawing benzo[c]cinnoline moieties, BF10, BF25, and BF50 were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed red-shifted emission peaks at around 500 nm for dilute polymer solutions and at around 530 nm for film samples. The PL quantum yields of polymer dilute solutions decreased as the ratios of benzo[c]cinnoline moieties in main chain increased. By UV irradiation (352 nm), the PL intensity of dilute polymer solutions was enhanced. The PL emission enhancement was attributed to the shorter conjugated length and the reduced donor–acceptor interaction caused by oxygen-containing groups that were formed on fluorene moieties by UV irradiation. The enhanced emission could be quenched further by the addition of proton donors such as trifluoroacetic acid. The completely alternating polymer BF50 consisting of fluorene and benzo[c]cinnoline moieties in dilute THF solution showed a linear relat...

  • UV-Irradiation-Enhanced Photoluminescence Emission of Polyfluorenes Containing Heterocyclic Benzo[c]cinnoline Moieties

    Abstract:

    Polyfluorenes (PFO) derivatives, containing different ratios of heterocyclic, electron-withdrawing benzo­[c]­cinnoline moieties, BF10, BF25, and BF50 were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed red-shifted emission peaks at around 500 nm for dilute polymer solutions and at around 530 nm for film samples. The PL quantum yields of polymer dilute solutions decreased as the ratios of benzo­[c]­cinnoline moieties in main chain increased. By UV irradiation (352 nm), the PL intensity of dilute polymer solutions was enhanced. The PL emission enhancement was attributed to the shorter conjugated length and the reduced donor–acceptor interaction caused by oxygen-containing groups that were formed on fluorene moieties by UV irradiation. The enhanced emission could be quenched further by the addition of proton donors such as trifluoroacetic acid. The completely alternating polymer BF50 consisting of fluorene and benzo­[c]­cinnoline moieties in dilute THF solution showed a linear relationship between UV doses and PL quantum yields after UV irradiation. It exhibited good potential for UV-sensing applications

  • synthesis and properties of air stable n channel semiconductors based on meh ppv derivatives containing benzo c cinnoline moieties
    Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jyhchien Chen, Chijui Chiang, Tuo Chen, Li Xing
    Abstract:

    In this study we synthesized three novel poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) derivatives that differ in terms of their ratios of heterocyclic benzo[c]cinnoline moieties: P50 containing only MEH-PPV/benzo[c]cinnolinevinylene (BZCV) alternating segments and P25 and P10 containing both MEH-PPV/BZCV alternating segments and MEH-PPV block segments. UV-Vis and PL spectra of these polymers revealed values of λUVmax and λPLmax that ranged from 440 to 489 and from 492 to 551 nm, respectively; these wavelengths blue-shifted upon incorporating additional benzo[c]cinnoline moieties. We also observed energy transfer from the MEH-PPV/BZCV alternating segments to the MEH-PPV block segments. P50, which featured an alternating structure in its main chain, displayed a solvatochromic effect, emitting green light in non-polar solvents and yellow light in polar solvents. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of these polymers, measured using cyclic voltammetry, ranged from −5.11 to −5.62 and from −3.08 to −3.31 eV, respectively. The incorporation of electron-withdrawing benzo[c]cinnoline moieties enhanced the electron affinity and improved the oxidative stability of the polymers. A bottom-gate, top-contact organic field-effect transistor (OFET) based on P50 exhibited n-channel behavior under ambient conditions, with an electron mobility of 7.8 × 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an on/off ratio greater than 104. No significant variation in electron mobility can be observed after this OEFT was stored under ambient conditions up to 30 days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that air-stable n-channel MEH-PPV derivatives have ever been reported. It indicated that p-type MEH-PPV can be transformed into n-type materials upon incorporation of benzo[c]cinnoline moieties.
