- We present the synthesis and characterization of poly(2-(2",5'-bis(2"-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (BEHP-PPV) polymerized at different temperatures. The photoluminescence efficiencies in the solid state of BEHP-PPV obtained at 144 and 0 degreesC are 28% and 60%, respectively. H-1 NMR measurements showed a lower concentration of structural defects for BEHP-PPV obtained at lower temperatures, which can explain the increased photoluminescence efficiencies for these polymers. Polymerization temperatures below 0 degreesC decrease the molecular weight without changing the photoluminescence efficiency to any large extent. The electroluminescence efficiencies follow the trend in the photoluminescence efficiencies.

- We present the synthesis and characterization of soluble, high molecular weight phenyl-substituted poly(p-phenylenevinylenes). The studied polymers are poly(2-(2',5'-bis(2?-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl)- 1,4-phenylenevinylene) (BEHP-PPV) and copolymers of BEHP-PPV and poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV). Their photoluminescence and electroluminescence have been examined as well as their stability to air and light. The polymers emitted green and yellow light. Stability measurements showed increased stability compared to some previously known substituted PPVs.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The synthesis and characterization of two new soluble poly(p-phenylenevinylenes) (PPVs) are reported. The polymers are poly(2-2',5'-bis(octyloxy)benzene)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (BOP-PPV) and poly(2-(2',5'-bis(octyloxy)benzene)-5-methoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (BOPM-PPV). Both polymers have been polymerized at high and low temperatures to study the formation of structural defects. It is shown that both methoxy groups as side chains and low polymerization temperatures decrease the content of defects in the final polymer. As a consequence, the polymers with lower concentration of defects exhibit higher electroluminescence yields in light-emitting diodes. In addition to this, the polymers with a low content of defects exhibited longer operational lifetimes in these devices. The highest photoluminescence quantum yield in the solid state and electroluminescence efficiency were found to be 72% and 1.74%, respectively.
