Abstract

The synthesis of poly(2,3-dibutoxy-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (DB-PPV) has allowed the study of this material as the active layer in a multiple layer device using a composite combination of polymer and Alq3 with an oxadiazole as electron injection/transport layers. The luminous efficiency of the resulting device was significantly improved as a result of this combination of transport layers. An entirely new approach to the synthesis of monomers for PPV precursors is described in which the 2- and 5- substituents are introduced by directed metallation groups (DMGs) which ultimately become the bis(halomethyl) groups.
