Abstract

The homopolymer of 9, 9-di (2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy) ethyl) fluorene and copolymers based on 9, 9-dihexylfluorene, thiophene, and 3-(2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy) ethyl) thiophene repeat units were obtained as patternable blue, green, and blue-green color luminescent polymers. Thermolytic and acid-catalyzed removal of the bulky tetrahydropyran (THP) group from thin solid films of the polymers was investigated. The acid-catalyzed ...
