A new water soluble fluorene-based polyelectrolyte containing on-chain porphyrin units has been synthesized via Suzuki coupling, for use in optoelectronic devices. The material consist of a random copolymer of poly{1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxy butylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl} (PBS-PFP) and a 5,15-diphenylporphyrin (DPP). The energy transfer process between the PBS-PFP units and the porphyrin has been inve...
In the presence of the nonionic alkyloxyethylene surfactant n-dodecylpentaoxyethylene glycol ether (C12E5), the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) poly1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxy-butylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl (PBS-PFP) dissolves in water, leading to a blue shift in fluorescence and dramatic increases in fluorescence quantum yields above the surfactant critical micelle concentration (cmc). No sign...
Relationships have been obtained between intermonomer torsional angle and NMR chemical shifts (1H and 13C) for isolated chains of two of the most important poly(9,9-dialkylfluorenes), poly[9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene-2,7-diyl] (PF2/6) and the copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-[2,1,3]benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl) (F8BT), using DFT calculations. The correlations provide a model for NMR spectral data interpreta...
A series of step-ladder copolymers based on thiophene-phenylene-thiophene SL1-SL3 and thiophene-naphthylene-thiophene SL4 repeat units with varying lengths of the oligothiophene segment has been designed and synthesized via a microwave-assisted Stille-type cross-coupling reaction followed by a polymer-analogous cyclization reaction. The optical properties of the step-ladder copolymers have been investigated in ...
Understanding factors responsible for the fluorescence behavior of conjugated polyelectrolytes and modulation of their behavior are important for their application as functional materials. The interaction between the anionic poly1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxy-butylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diylcopolymer (PBS−PFP) and cationic gemini surfactants α,ω-(CmH2m+1N+(CH3)2)2(CH2)s(Br-)2 (m-s-m; m = 12, s = 2, 3, 5, 6, ...
We report on the solubilization, phase behavior, and self-organized colloidal structure of a ternary water−polyfluorene−surfactant (amphiphile) system comprised of polyelectrolytic poly1,4-phenylene[9,9-bis(4-phenoxybutylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl (PBS−PFP) in nonionic pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) at 20 °C. We show in particular how a high amount (milligrams per milliliter) of polyfluorene c...
In this paper, the interaction between the water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte poly1,4-phenylene[9,9-bis(4-phenoxybutylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl copolymer and the amino acid glyceride conjugate 1-O-(l-arginyl)-2,3-O-dilauroyl-sn-glycerol dichlorohydrate (a mimic for the phospholipid lecithin) has been studied in aqueous solution by electronic spectroscopy (absorption and fluorescence) and small-angle ne...
