Side Chain Influence on Main Chain Orientation of PPV-Type Oligomers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
Oligo (p-phenylene vinylene)s OPV were synthesized having cyanobiphenyloxy-groups bonded to the vinylene double bonds via alkylene spacers. A Pd(0)-reaction was used to synthesize the oligomers starting with the dibromo-substituted benzene and the alkenyloxy-biphenyl-nitrile. The orientation of the mesogens by a magnetic field and their influence on the orientation of the main chain was investigated by means of neutron diffraction ND. Data on the photophysics of the oligomers were gained using several spectroscopic methods such as UV/VIS, polarized optical microscopy POM, SEC, 1H-NMR, FT-IR.
