Synthesis and optoelectronic properties of radical conjugated polyfluorenes

Abstract

A novel redox-active fluorene monomer is synthesized and copolymerized with 9,9-dioctylfluorene and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole via Suzuki cross-coupling to produce alternating and tertiary copolymers. Electrochemical and chemical reduction of the copolymers generates organic polymeric radical anions. Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and photophysical characterization grant insight into the structure–property relationship for open-shell conjugated polymers.
