A novel spiro-functionalized polyfluorene derivative with solubilizing side chains
Abstract
We report on a new polyfluorene derivative containing a spiroanthracenefluorene unit with a remote C-10 position that provides facile substitution of alkyl groups. An ethylhexyl group was introduced into the spiroanthracenefluorene unit and the ethylhexyl-substituted spiroanthracenefluorene was polymerized via an Ni(0)-mediated polymerization. The
