  • singlet oxygen as a Reactive Intermediate in the photodegradation of phenylenevinylene oligomers
    Chemistry of Materials, 1999
    Co-Authors: Niels Dam, Rodger D Scurlock, Bojie Wang, And Mikael Sundahl, Peter R Ogilby
    Abstract:

    Singlet molecular oxygen (a1Δg) is shown to be the principal Reactive Intermediate in the photoinduced oxygen-dependent decomposition of a series of phenylenevinylene oligomers. The reaction rate between singlet oxygen and the oligomer decreases (1) with a decrease in the extent of phenylenevinylene conjugation (i.e., oligomer chain length) and (2) upon the incorporation of electron-withdrawing substituents on the oligomer. The reaction rate, however, does not appear to depend solely on the electron density of the oligomer π system, as calculated using ab initio methods. For oligomers with vinyl-substituted cyano group(s), the reaction with singlet oxygen is very slow, thus making such compounds good candidates for the production of stable electroluminescent materials.

  • singlet oxygen as a Reactive Intermediate in the photodegradation of an electroluminescent polymer
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1995
    Co-Authors: Rodger D Scurlock, Bojie Wang, Peter R Ogilby, James R Sheats, R L Clough
    Abstract:

    Singlet molecular oxygen (a{sup 1}{Delta}{sub g}) is shown to be a Reactive Intermediate in the photoinduced oxidative decomposition of the electroluminescent material poly(2,5-bis(5,6-dihydrocholestanoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) [BCHA-PPV] in both liquid solutions and solid films. Upon irradiation of this polymer in CS{sub 2}, singlet oxygen is produced by energy transfer from the BCHA-PPV triplet state to ground state oxygen with a quantum yield of nearly 0.025. Singlet oxygen reacts with BCHA-PPV, resulting in extensive chain scission of the macromolecule. The reaction with singlet oxygen is unique to the polymer; the monomeric analog of this system, stilbene, does not appreciably react with singlet oxygen. Polymer degradation is proposed to proceed via addition of singlet oxygen in a{sub {pi}} 2+{sub {pi}}2 cycloaddition reaction to the double bond that connects phenylene groups in the macromolecule. 60 refs., 6 figs.
