The polymers discussed in this contribution consist of phenylenevinylene chromophores linked together across flexible biphenyl hinges to shorten the effective conjugation length and to give sufficiently twisted structures that interchain aggregation is limited or prevented. They are poly[(2,5- dihexyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene)-alt-(4,4′-dihexyloxy-3, 3′-biphenylenevinylene)] (1), poly[(2,5-dihexyloxy- p-phenylenevinylene)-alt-(2,2′-dihexyloxy-3,3′ -biphenylenevinylene)] (2), and poly[(2,5-dihexyloxy-p- phenylenevinylene)-alt-(2,2′-biphenylenevinylene)] (3). Absorption spectra in dilute solution and solid states are very similar for 1-3, consistent with the absence of aggregation effects in their ground electronic states. Photoluminescence emission spectra showed substantial red shifts in the solid state relative to dilute solution phase spectra. Solution emission quantum yields ranged from 0.26 to 0.42. LEDs based on 1-3 gave blue-green emission with maxima in the 480-510 nm range. The similarity of the photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectra for the polymers is consistent with emission from the same or very similar excited-state species. For LEDs based upon the highest quantum efficiency photoluminescent emitter, 1, better luminance was achieved using PEDOT-PSS hole injection layers in double-layer LEDs than using PPV.

The incorporation of photorefractive molecular units, such as carbazole, into anisotropic materials (liquid crystals) may offer many advantages over conventional electrical poling of photorefractive polymers. Thus, a series of symmetric 3,6-disubstituted
Selective etherification of polyhydroxybenzenes using PEG 200 as solvent or cosolvent

The monoalkylation of hydroquinone is performed using PEG 200 as a solvent or a cosolvent.The effect on the selectivity of the base strength, the temperature, and the percentage of cosolvent are discussed.The substituted phenols were found to behave differently upon etherification.When a carboxylic function is present in the ring, the hydroxybenzoic acids were selectively etherified using pure PEG and sodium hydroxyde as a base.Substituted diphenols were selectively etherified using a mixture of PEG and dioxan and potassium hydrogencarbonate as a base.Keywords - etherification / selectivity / polyhydroxybenzenes / polyethylene glycol
